In my own case I just painted a new name on the stern and went sailing
and seeing that I rode out the recent Thai tsunami some 15 miles off
the island of Phi Phi, in Pha Nga Bay, I can't believe that any bad
luck was accrued by the name change.

If you were a real sailor as you claim you would know this. Again, I say
you
are a fraud or a wannabe. You show your ignorance of things nautical
daily.
Please go away. Maybe you and Skippy should get together and swap some
tales. He's about your speed. Just another wannabe.

Well, well, Willie the expert.

Given that I was there I think I have a petty good idea how high the
wave was. But, since you are an expert please tell me know how high
the wave was when I encountered it, and while you are amazing us with
your brilliance you might also let us know how deep the water was
where I encountered the wave.

You imagined it if there was a wave at all. It's a simple fact that in deep
water tsunamies are not even noticable. Unless that bay is only a couple
hundred feet deep or less you'd not see a tsunami passing. You said you were
fifteen miles from some island. Water was probably pretty deep fifteen miles
out from the nearest land. I don't have a chart but I'd guess a thousand
feet or two is the depth where you were.


It would also be enlightening if you to give us an inkling of how many
tsunamis you have survived, and perhaps a little information on your
experiences in these matters to demonstrate that you actually have
some knowledge of what you talk and are not just another fool
parroting words that others have written.

Because I read everything in sight don't hold that against me. It's the
reading combined with the years of practical experience that makes me
biggest expert in these groups. Never forget it.
