If some monster wave was headed for the shore I'd paddle for the deepest water that I knew of. Of course the aftermath would probably be so horrible that you wouldn't have much to come back to. That's if the currents don't take you off to San Nicholas. Better pack some waters and power bars!.
I talked to a guy the other day at West Marine that was around some island chain during the Tsunami that hit India. He said that they were near open water and headed straight into the wave. When the wave reached them it was like sailing up hill but it did not crest. They just got to the top of it and then it was flat. Hours later they were sailing around scooping up people that had been washed off the island. Lots of people were killed. Crazy! |

Often when you hear a Tsunami is coming many of the military ships will head out to see and rid out the surge. I don't think the surge was big enough for the ships in our harbor to head out. The last place you want to be when a Tsunami hits is standing on shore. Kiss your sweet A$$ goodbye at that point.

Before the latest string of quake-related tsunamis, I had read a lot about tsunamis, found them fascinating. One of my favorite books is The Ocean Almanac, and always dig just flipping through and reading...
Anyway, back in the days, there is one story that stuck out. June 26th, 1896. An excerpt... "Local fishermen had put out to sea for their nightly harvest of the deep. Twenty miles offshore, the incoming waves passed unnoticed beneath their keels owing to the insulating depths of the sea. On returning home the following morning, the came upon heaving carpets of debris and corpses floating a short distance offshore. On land they found desolation and destruction". To the Japanese, tsunami means, literally, harbor wave. I think I would want to be as far out to sea as possible...and I will always keep a couple yaks in the garage. And, should my local coastline suddenly recede and expose the bounties of the shoreline, I will not be like the other poor fools who rushed in to take all they could carry...I am going to do what local tribes remember from stories passed down generation upon generation and head for higher ground...
