We could be in for a sloshing! Better secure things in the Flying Castle!

Point of information:

We are not at anchor -- We are "On Station."

The UTS Flying Castle is floating freely on the ocean surface, station-keeping near the Eniwetok Atoll.

Ocean depth is rather shallow here, so we will probably rock with the tsunami wave, but there is no shallowing beach to concentrate the wave. We are anticipating no damage to the vessel.
