IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
IF YOU ARE SHIPPING TO G & G ...
I received new information from Chris Illing and G&G Shipping today.
To have goods via G&G Shipping delivered FREE OF CHARGE to Cat Island, and to be in accordance with efforts made by Chris Illing, this is how the label ought to read:
HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORT
THE GOVERNMENT OF THE BAHAMAS
ATTN: CARL PINDER
CAT ISLAND
I'm going to be in Ft Lauderdale and will be delivering supplies to G+G.
ReplyDeleteI could also use a ride to the island. If you can help with that, or know someone who can, pls post on the Rides thread at the Cat Island Forum:

Will be there this week (9-13 to 9-16) but can leave anytime.

Some are saying Pinder is giving preference on distribution to his church friends, fwiw.

Things are getting back to normal on Cat. Phones are still out in places, but power has been fully restored, although it flakes out sometimes.
Look for them to get DSL sometime soon. They were stringing the optical cables when Irene hit.
Lots of roofs still need repair, but it's getting done.
New Bight Harbor is open and G+G is delivering, as is the Mail Boat.
