I can't generalize for ALL east coasters, but it was on the right coast
where I first encountered this. Some fishermen were on a raft trip, and
estimated what I called a 6 foot wave as being a '3 foot wave'. I figured
they just had poor spatial sense, but they explained that other fishermen
also rated the sea swells from midline to peak. I've watched this happen
all
over, but never knew where it originated.

Myron - Been gone for a bit. Did Life in the Congo (Part IV or V) ever
get
posted?
At one point it was hours away from being on the net.


Hey railtramp: Good job keeping track of the episodes! Its actually is
Part V, and I've been accidentally mis-labeling it because I posted Part IV
right off the screen the night of the mugging and forgot to save a copy to
my HD and my own files are therefore incomplete. But Part V is almost ready
and will be posted Monday. Its about my first road-trip to the interior that
took place last year, and I'm contrasting it to the same road trip I took 2
weeks ago.

"Hours away"....grin. Manana, mon...
