My first memory of the Atlantic Ocean, was when the family went to Brooklyn, and I was body surfing with the waves. I was maybe seven years old,, and a wave picked-me up, and dumped me on my head, as I tumbled into the shore. It was my first impression of the ocean's power, and that was only a small wave.

The Jersey Shore and Jones beach was a way of life, for those raised in that area. Always looked forward to the family vacation to Asbury Park beach and boardwalk.

There is nothing like the ocean and salt water for playing/enjoying the sun and water. I remember it always made me hungry while at dinner, at the end of the day.

So sad to see Sandy destroy, most of the shoreline, but it will get back to, what it once, was. A lot of people have their fond memories, of the Atlantic Ocean.

When Muhammed Ali fought in Atlantic City for the frist time and it was his first trip from Louisvile, Kentucky. He was only used to the lakes near his home. When he first saw the ocean, he remarked, "that's the biggest damn lake, I ever seen".
