"Winter" in Guam

Looking at this picture you would think it was a typical wintery day in Seattle.  However, it is the results of an unusually stormy weekend here in Guam.  In fact, we all decided that we just had our "winter" season.  We had two days of rain with completely grey skies, and it was relatively cool -  probably 78 degrees

We've had high surf warnings since Thursday so we've been experiencing abnormally strong currents, rip tides, and white caps in bays and at beaches which are normally quite calm.  The surf warnings are supposed to last until tomorrow so we decided to take a drive and check out the ocean after church today.  We dodged multiple waves of rain showers, braved high winds, and took some fun pictures . . .

Another wave of rain is about to hit.

Strong winds!

 

Hold on tight!!  :)

10' to 15' waves today - stunning, amazing, incredible . . . I've run out of words to describe the beauties of the water here.

These pictures were taken on the other side of the island during a volleyball game that Chad, Reed,  and Rachel attended.  Amazing the difference 8 miles can make.  On the Pacific Ocean side - clear skies and a few showers.  On the East Philippine Sea side - grey, windy and lots of rain.  Crazy!
