Only 6,1 on Richter scale, unfortunately no one dead..... so not big news for the world press  few people with bruces no house broke down seriously, few old barns lost one of their walls, can“t wait for after shocks tonight when in bed to get some free massage.... 
In all I am fine and having fun as usual, preparing our first race for the season on Saturday
Bogi
p.s.
Thanks for the concern

Living in a country on the move all the time our houses are built to withstand big quakes  our news media are up ears trying to find every little stone that moved to be able to report in direct broadcast since 15.52 hours and still are..... what a pathetic profession to be in

Hi Bogi
Glad to hear you are all OK, how did Sveinbjorn and Kolla's beach house fare?
I assume all your boats survived (priorities !!)

Their (Sveinki on here) beach house is on the westfjords so no problems there and all boats are safe and sound, will be fitted with hydraulic steering next week.
