Yaraandoo ll report on tsunami in Vanuatu 0ctober 8th 09

No problems whatsoever here in Vila - we did not leave the mooring as the water is deeper here than in the bay and we did not want to get caught on the shallow spot leaving the Harbour.  Mike did however lengthen the scope on the mooring and he was standing by ready to release - we had the motor going but the recorded rise was 20cms so no problems.  There have been two after shocks still NW of Santo and now New Caledonia is on a tsunami warning.  No doubt we will hear news on the nets in the morning.

Thanks for thinking of us - try not to worry so - if anything was to happen we would put out a yotreps report ASAP.

Have just received our burgee for the Port2Port rally so only about 9 days to departure.

More news when we have some - love and hugs - Sue and Mike
