The guys in a "normal" pass-the-ocean end up on the ends of a wave. BUT when pass-the-ocean goes into a tidal wave, and then load-the-boat is called, one of the guys becomes a "center", and his original partner also becomes a center, and they must step forward and face "out". Here's another tricky wrinkle. Which way is out? Normally, being on the end of a wave, I would think out was awav from the center of the wave, but in this load-the-boat variation, becoming a center, "out" is back the way I came, so I turn right, and my original partner turns left. Mind boggling!Alexander Gabishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00770758790863770738noreply@blogger.com
