Our thoughts are with the people in Christchurch today who may not have been as lucky as our family members, none of whom were injured although several have had further damage to houses.
Google has put up a "people finder" here you are haven't been able to contact someone.

Christchurch Quake
Wednesday, February 16. 2011
A great day
Anchored off south east side of Mana Island
Dovekie was nicely balanced with almost no weather helm once we got the the mizzen adjusted more or less right. I still have some learning to do there.
We anchored in behind Mana Island for lunch with another H28 and a couple of other yachts. There were a lot of small boats out fishing too.
Very pleased on the whole with how the day went.
Just anchored - Mana Island
I have added a fire extinguisher and another life jacket into the on-board equipment, and installed a new shackle for the anchor rode/chain link as there wasn't one at all. Actually looking at the advertisement that Vinings had for Dovekie it looks as though the last owner removed a bunch of things as the price dropped on Trademe. There is no barometer, clock, 2nd anchor or storm sail on board.
