While many Barbadians heeded the warning against venturing into the sea yesterday, veteran windsurfer O'Neal Marshall took to the water to take advantage of the big waves. Marshall, 33, who represented Barbados at the Atlanta and Sydney Olympics, said he could not resist the ideal conditions set by Tropical Storm Emily. He and his friends usually wait for the hurricane season to ride the waves since it was the only opportunity they got to use the smaller sails. This was not an activity for the unschooled, however.
