I'm glad the water stopped before you had some damage. It's interesting how the tsunamis generated by the Chilean 8.8 earthquake were so different in their results and heights as they impacted the land forms around the Pacific. In Chile, in areas I have long dreamed of paddling, there was significant damage very quickly after the tremors. Makes you think twice about how to select safe camping areas. The ones we are attracted to (with nice non-dumping beaches) turn out to be the worst and the ones most difficult for kayaks (steep-to or cliffs) seem to be the best. Thanks for the update.
