how to write big waves

[Charles Butler]

I would have used that big graph, but I thought that the hands switched orientation in the process.  If the hands move up and then down and the change palm facing line isn't there, I thought I'd have to use the figure I sent.

Am I being too careful in my writing?

Hello Honza!
Having looked at the video, which was very fast, and the sign was in  
the middle of a long paragraph, I grabbed two
photos from it...and here is one writing of what I saw...I have had  
such a busy Sunday already with so many phone calls, so I have not had  
that much time to really analyze other ways to write it too, but  
anyway....the video is great...wonderful signs that would be fun to  
write!!

Val ;-)
