WOW !! That man has a big set of balls. He also did, to my feeble mind, the correct thing. Head to deep water if you have time. ONLY if you have PLENTY of time.

Thanks for the video.

God bless him, he made it. The first thing the wife and I did when we heard about the tsunami was to head down to the marina and take our boat out. The last place we wanted her to be was in the marina when any sort of tide came in.

Talk about getting out in the nick of time. 5 more minutes and he would have been toast.

Unusual combination, balls and brains.
Please God further loss of life can be avoided and those nuclear power station fires are brought under control.
Safe sailing
