Saw the picture on the front page there and I gotta say it looks interesting.

About how long is West Wall? I can't see any ends to that thing.

Where is West Wall? Do you need an offroader to get to it?

And, how high does the water get? I can see the barnacle and water fauna only grows up to a certain point. Does the water come over it? Does it ever come up in certain points? I'm asking this because I don't want to go out and find that I'm trapped out there until the tide lowers.

How about wave action? Do the waves crash over it or what? I don't see too much waves there but I don't know if snapped the photo at a sedated time.

And finally, would it look silly if I wore a life preserver? I have some type III PFDs. This summer I plan on fishing some of the rock piles down in OC MD and the tip of their Inlet jetty. Drowning is perhaps the worst way to die and I'm not going out like that. I was thinking I could secure some light sticks to it and if I got washed off, I could snap them. and maybe put a whistle on a retracting lanyard. Can't be too careful.
