I decided not to go all the way to the cave - the waves were violent and getting way too close. I was standing on dry rocks, sheltered by a reef of lave rock when I took the previous photo. But then something like this happened - I heard a loud boom - turned around towards the ocean and a Sumo Wrestler landed on me. I got a power-wash that took my breath away. . . There was nothing that wasn't wet afterwards. - Dangerous stuff!
