Mike-

I didn't say that there wasn't a meteorite, or that the boater didn't
observe a fall. That may have happened. I was only arguing against a
connection between what might have been a fairly ordinary meteorite fall in
the sea, and a tsunami or sporadic wave event that I think must be
unrelated.
