Here we go

Here we go, with the posting of this first entry, my blog is now open for bussiness!

A word about the title of this blog: Freaque Waves. No, I don't think the word "freaque" is in the dictionary yet. It is a composite of the two words "freak" and "rogue." Because at the present freak waves and rogue waves are exactly synonymous, so I thought may be using this one single word can save me from writing "freak waves or rogue waves" repeatedly. My colleague Dave Schwab helped me finalized the spelling with a "q" instead of a "g" I first used. Prof. Y. Papadimitrakis of Athens once told me "freaque" is actually closer to the original Greek word than "freak."






Beyond the coinage of a new word, I hope unbashfully presenting my personal views here on waves, freak waves, rogue waves, and everything about wind generated waves and then some can be worthy readings for someone. Any disagreements please feel free to flame me in the comments.
