Tsunami Warning!
27 February 2010 | LAS HARDAS, MANZANILLO

This morning during the Amigo net a tsunami warning was issued. An earthquake in Chile started the ball rolling. Most of the boats here in Manzanillo are lifting their anchors and heading out into deeper waters. The traffic on VHF radio is incessant. I just heard someone on the radio say he wants to feel the bump as it goes by. There is some discussion as to how far offshore you need to be,and how deep water you need.
We lifted anchor at around 9 am, about 2 hours ago. We are almost outside Manzanillo Bay, in 360 feet of water, it is sunny, with very little wind. the engine is running - charging the batteries, running the frig. All is well. Time for a little something, as Pooh Bear would say. Coffee and a cookie.
Let you know how it goes!
