No - this story is not about us - thankfully!

Since we were out in the anchorage and day sailing around with oodles of other boats we were not able to get the real picture of the effects the tsunami surge had on Marina La Cruz. Luckily, Tim stayed behind with Diane on Ceilydh to lend a hand. Diane was able to take some good photos. To get an idea of the surge in the marina, go to Ceilydh's Blog:

Now that the threat of bottoming out and/or thrashing about in the slip as the surge pours in and out of the marina has passed, Hotspur is back to boat jobs. Since we are paying a pretty penny in the La Cruz Marina, the only justification is to get a bunch of work done. The kids are off and running every day with the little people of Marina La Cruz - in Tim's case, the not-so-little people in the marina.

We woke Thursday morning to the devastating news of Japan's earthquake and the inevitable tsunami to follow. Last year, Chile's earthquake shook Mexico's gold coast just barely; we were in Mazatlan and felt absolutely nothing. So, the news of a forthcoming tsunami in La Cruz was nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders for us.
