EARTHQUAKE UPDATE AND HIDEAWAY ISLAND

The earthquake was 7.5 not 7.2
A Tsunami WAS generated and hit Port Vila, where Torrid is moored, but it was very, very small. Thank goodness.

Today I visited Hideaway Island. Their claim to fame is that they have the World's only underwater post office. I sent 3 postcards.

The diving was about 1/10 as good as Fiji. The "beach" at Hideaway was VERY rough coral rubble with no sand. Not high on my choices of places to revisit.

I hope to take some new friends sailing tomorrow.

Apparently I'll need to visit an internet cafe to upload some new photos. Will do ASAP.
