We are announcing that @Orodruin has retired from the PF Mentors group. In a couple short years @Orodruin rose to become a real all star in the community and PF will miss his leadership in the Mentor group. A busy real life has struck again. @Orodruin has many exciting projects ahead of him and we wish him the very best! He has intentions to stick around and continue being a great and valued member.

To help fill in his spot we are excited to announce that @fresh_42 has agreed to join the Mentor group. @fresh_42 has demonstrated a great enthusiasm for the community and for helping others. Welcome!

Now, where is that beach in the Caribbean where you send old mentors to have umbrella-adorned drinks while watching the waves roll in - silently pondering how far badly the linear regime of the wave equation is broken?
The coordinates are being sent to your brain via the chip we implanted in you. until then, Dance, DANCE! :biggrin:

We used to go there the beginning of April, but we haven't done that for a few years... :biggrin:

(sorry, that was before your time here...)

Not exactly what you are looking for, as it is much closer (Zadar, Croatia) and the wave was just reflected, but it is best I can think of.

To the left of the image there is a huge walkway that lights up. Very cool!

Actually it was way back behind me. But you are perfectly right, that's the place!

Actually I had never enough time to wait till dark to see it working, each time I am in Zadar it is just a side trip and I have to drive further.
 
Awesome! Excellent choice.

There is no beach. Only an endless moderation que. Enjoy your retirement!

Dislike! Where is the dislike button?

I'm sorry. That feature is only available to active mentors. :-p

I knew there was going to be some cool new mentor feature rolled out the moment I retired ...
That and we installed cool LED lights in the hot tub that dance to music.
