Just a quick note to let our friends, family, and readers know that Mark and I are fine and safe. We were at home in our apartment when the quake hit. We gathered a few belongings and left Christchurch when we could. We are safe and sound in a backpackers a few hours south of Christchurch and will remain here until we can safely reenter the area and building. I will update the blog with the details of the day later but for now our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been devastated by the disaster and also to the four members of our sailing community who lost their lives to piracy, may God be with them.
