Earthquakes & Tsunamis

Woke this morning to news of the huge earthquake in Chile and the tsunami which is threatening the whole Pacific Rim. I guess it will be some time before we hear how badly it has affected Chile, but there have been major alerts across the pacific and massive coastal evacuations in Hawaii where they expect the tsunami in the next few hours.
There was an initial warning here to expect a 2m wave at around 10.30 but this was eventually withdrawn and everyone went back to the beach!
After all the kayaking that I have imposed on her, Linda's treat this morning was a flight over the coast and the mountains in an Ultralight - actually an Autogyro with a German pilot. She got a great view of the beaches and the coral reef offshore and quite a few photos, including a video of the landing - shot over the pilot's shoulder.
We have settled into the local routine without any problem - early morning swim followed by breakfast then an hour or so on the beach, a bit of shopping or internet, lunch, siesta, a dip in the pool and then back to the beach again as the sun goes down. After dinner there are the reggae or salsa nights at the beachfront bars. Its a rough old life, but someone has to do it!
Have tried a couple of the local restaurants - had some tremendous Tuna last night - but have also enjoyed being able to cook for ourselves.
