On passage to New Caledonia (08/10/09)

Position 21 degrees, 16 S, 169 degrees 32 E.
150 miles to go.
Sailing in NW wind 12 knots, genoa and staysail.
Haven't seen any Tsunami's out here. It's relatively safe if encountered out at sea; being in Port and tied up is the worst place.
We read a very ineresting account from a sailor we met in El Salvador, who was tied to the dock in Pago Pago when the first Tsunami hit. His report can be found at learnativity.touchpad.com - look for "Tsunami tango".
Should arrive in New Caledonia tomorrow a.m.
