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.

A six-inch wave overpressure a thousand miles away.
Our sensors have not detected it at all. We should be okay.
Lesson to be learned; be wary of ports!
