Tsunami warning

Forgot to mention that shortly after we left our anchorage at Chamela to head North we heard there was a tsunami warning for most of the pacific and that boats should immediately head out to sea. So we steered abit further out as water was only 120 ft deep 2 miles offshore. I figured 200 to 300 ft should be ok unless it was a monster. We could hear on the radio that most of the boats had headed out to sea from the last two places we had been, some went up to 7 miles out to sea. By 2pm the warning was over. The tsunami warning was because of the 8.5 earthquake off Chile.
Later we heard that the marina that we are in now had a 1 meter surge as the water level rose up and down several times and there was a strong current flow at the entrance that almost threw one boat on the rocks as it tryed to leave. Most boats stayed put here, I think they got the warning to late.
