A saw another of small ships on their side and large vessels being swept a mile or more inland along with floating burning fires.
Later: Yikes. I just saw 1 - 3 feet water rise predicted for Santa Barbara. Doesn't sound like much but could be much higher up channels. Does anyone know where Zeehag is moored? After all she has been through....
Hundreds dead in Japan.

Some damage. I was going to Marina del Rey for opening days from Long Beach and left an hour and a half before the Tsunami was expected to impact. I headed for deep water but in only 90' my wife and friend said they felt a distinct change in the wave pattern and period. I was below pulling up some waypoints and checking for updates. I figured they were imagining things until a friend in mid-channel reported the same. We had to orbit under sail for a few hours until they allowe d the Marina del Rey harbor to open. The harbor patrol urged caution upon entering and boy were they right. I got into a whirlpool that turned me 90 degrees before the rudder and prop bit. I could not enter a guest dock on the main channel. I was 45 degrees trying to go forward. I took another tie off the channel. However, I have never seen such weird currents in 50++ years of boating! We had a 4-5' tidal change in one hour for example, and it looked like a 8 knot wake past the dock pylons. Strange days! I changed my mind about a few things I'll comment on next week for sure. Be safe!
