This morning, for the first time, I saw what the waves crash over the rocks
on
Marine Drive. I did see some spray on Friday as we
were walking along Marine Drive, but nothing like this. It was raining, and torrentially.
The previous evening, my umbrella broke. I was walking out of office, which is directly in
front of the sea. The breeze blows towards office. There's no way for the wind
to go except through the door. So when I walked out of the door and opened my
umbrella, the breeze inverted it, and broke a couple of the rods. It's still
usable, but won't stand another strong wind.
Anyway, we'd been working late last night, and I had to deliver some documents
to a partner who lived at Malabar Hill. I took a taxi and sat at the front, as he
drove along Marine drive to Malabar hill. It was raining, when waves crashed over
the wall along the sea, and splashed all over the road, including the car, with
tremendous force. I jerked backwards, but the driver hardly noticed anything,
pausing only to adjust the speed of the wiper.They're used to it, I guess.
