I was standing about 5 metres above the ocean on a totally dry rock, taking photos of the waves. I saw this one coming in, and as I pressed the shutter, realized that it was a "freak wave" - you can tell by the clear green in the lower left. Pressed the shutter, then spun around to put my back to it and find a place to land if I got knocked off the rock. Fortunately didn't get knocked off, just got myself and camera soaked in seawater. Ran to where my wife was, switching off the camera as I ran. She was ready with fresh water, which we poured all over the camera. Then dropped out the battery and cards. XD card came out wet. Water ran out of lens, and there were drops near, but not on, the sensor. Hiked back to civilization, bought 5 kg of rice and buried the camera (with lens on, but card door open and facing down) for three days. Powered up, and all is fine! Still working, and hope it will for a long time.
