I've lived in California all my life and experienced numerous earthquakes. However, this morning was the first while floating.
My SO and I were in our marina sleeping when the earthquake occured. We think it was about 03:20 hours and lasted about 15 to 20 seconds. The sound and feel in the boat was a loud shaking. Almost like a team of pranksters were shaking the boat. I jumped out of bed and looked out a window to see the water looking like a washing machine with ripples and wavelets all over.
We lost our ac power in the marina for about an hour or so.
I didn't imagine that we would feel the quake on the water like we did. I assumed the water would have cushioned the effects of the seismic activity. Assumed....
