SECURITEH SECURITEH TUSUNAMI ALERT!!!

7:OO AM came the call over the VHF.  i elbowed Harvey "what the heck is that" oh my GOD !  what to do now , we were alone in the anchorage in Melaque. instinct says head for high ground! we are in the worst possible position for a tsunami. okay pack the bags asap and park the boat in the lagoon and get the heck as high as you can. so began the frantic pack and listening to the VHF and tons of activity on the radio between the boats in barra and tennecitita. after a while we got the just that everyone was heading out to sea , oh my god ! we are doing the wrong thing. next thing you know we were making water and planning to lift anchor and head to sea to as deep water as possible. apparently thats what you are supposed to do.  soon it was anounced that alot of boats were trying to call us and make sure we heard. and "moon tide " anounced over the VHF to all that Gypsywind was heading out to sea. what a feeling at that moment of support and a comunity we are amongst. it was a moment a bit scared and uncertain and following the ones who may know more and feeling held in it all is amazing. As it it turned out not much happened but we learnt , what to do when you get that kind of call. needless to say our fiends meshach have been living in tennicatita for over a month now and it took a Tsunami to get them out of there and we were joined by all close friends in the anchorage of melaque that evening. Whacha gonna do, meshach, black dragon,gotta go, and a few others i think it was the most this anchorage has seen since we arrived. what a nice reunion we had at the palapa that night.
