Hi Sander,
Great news you went to breakfast early so we still have you as a member of 
your family and that of the LUG family.

>> no photo's: all gear (M7, 4 lenses, 2 digicameras) washed out to sea.
> But we are unharmed, and what are a few camera's then?<<<<

Given the photos and TV images we've seen so far, the loss of camera gear is 
not worth the time of day under the circumstances.  However! One small and 
insignificant lesson out of this disaster for all of us.  ......... "no 
matter where you go...........always take one camera with you !"
