Tsunami?

Hi folks. Travis here. SV Brown Eyed Girl is in the Galapagos. I communicated by email with them this morning after the earthquake and before the tsunami got there and they were just powering up to get out of the harbor they were in. I have not heard from them since but it sounds like its impact on the Galapagos was (hopefully) modest. From a website that I found:

"Tsunami wave observed in Isla Baltra, Galapagos on 27.02.2010 at 13:13 GMT. The tsunami wave height was 0.25 meters / 2.0 feet. Other information not available yet."

So keeping our fingers crossed that will hear from them shortly ...
