CNN - Ocean waves knocked several people into the Atlantic off Maine's
Acadia National Park Sunday.The victims were among several thousand
people who were at the park late Sunday morning to watch the high waves
that Hurricane Bill -- a Category 1 storm -- was kicking up offshore.
The waves knocked several people into the water, and some suffered
broken bones and back injuries, Sheridan Steele, the park's
superintendent, said.

JustHate, surfing waves on a small motorbike?



i'm a radio operator for the CG in sandy hook, NJ. last august i was
coming back from a business trip to malaysia and turned on the CG
frequency for NY harbor, during my drive back from JFK airport

that night, the CG was looking for 4 people who'd been swept out to
sea by rip tides from coney island....these were big guys playing
water polo in 4' of water....

so tidal currents are DANGEROUS
