The port captain here issued an evacuation warning for the harbor.
We and our buddy boats have evacuated and gone to deeper water. We heard wave height of 5.5 to 6.5, so aren't worried. In deeper waters, that's nothing. In shallow waters, that can be a problem for sure!! So, thanks for the info, enjoy hearing about it since we don't have Internet! How is Chile faring? Sounds like the CNN reports were unconcerned, but that is a big earthquake and close to land!
So thank you for the info, we are in great shape, anchored in over 100 feet of water, so a 6-foot swell is unlikely to cause us any notice.
Had a nice hike up the Sierra Negra Volcano today, 10 miles round trip, very interesting and nice. It was even cool with overcast, fog, and a cool breeze.
Unexpected and very pleasant weather!! No amazing wildlife spotted, but cool lava formations.
We have been told 2.5 - 3 hours for waves to hit us here, so around 10 pm our time we figure we are in the clear. Will probably stay anchored out all night, then go back in the morning, but were supposed to go on a ferry tomorrow morning at 6 am to Santa Cruz (probably Courage and Cassidy) to check out another island and use their ATM as there is not an ATM on this island and we need more money to pay port captain expenses, etc.
Talk with you soon,
Shannon
