Awesome! All intellectual patterns just seem to blow away with the foam.

There is a German writer - Bernard Kellermann - who wrote a book called "Das Meer" ('The Ocean' or 'The Sea' in English) about his stay on the French island Ouessant off the Bretagne coast. This was in the early twentieth century, when the population were fishermen and sailors and as this region is notorious for its extreme ebb/flood difference (8-10 meters) and rough weather they had many narrow esapes. I found this video clip of a storm around there and as a "stormbird" and dabbler in seascape paintings I was absolutely fascinated. Take a look at this address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2LeNBY_5gk&feature=related The waters around there are spotted with lighthouses, two on the Ouessean itself - Creach and Stiff (both described by Kellermann, the former the world's strongest lightwise ) - and some on rocks off the island and. If these are manned they surely had a tough time during this storm. BTW Kellermann has written another novel - "The Tunnel" - about a project to connect Europe and the USA under the Atlantic, this somehow reminded me of Ayn Rand.
