Hi Jerry! We met you & Mirador anchored somewhere in the Sea of Cortez ... when we were visiting friends on sv Que Tal years ago.

My son is in the Navy stationed in San Diego. Yesterday morning I heard on CNN that one of the ships in his battle group was being sent out to sea.

So I text him & ask if he's leaving SD. Several hours later, when he got off "work", he called to tell me that there was absolutely no impact felt in SD and his ship is still at the dock.

Maybe it has something to do with being aboard an LHA-5 -- one of the Navy's smaller carriers - they transport marine helo's, navy helo's and harrier jets, as well as an entire marine city and LCU's - the rear of the ship sinks 8' to allow the LCU's to exit.

Apparently it was big enough that he never felt a thing despite being onboard at the time.
