Friday night & wishing everyone a safe and restful night.
Just want to wish those in the Bahamas and those about to be hit in the U.S. a safe and restful night.
Thank you to all of you who have helped gather and post information.
GINGER ..... THANKS FOR DOING THIS BLOG. IT'S BEEN A BIG HELP TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. IT'S ALLOWED US TO FEEL INFORMED AND INVOLVED EVEN THOUGH WE'RE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. THE KOREENS
Hi Ginger, J.R. here! I think Cat Island in General faired well, considering the winds were clocked @145mph. Randy stayed at the apt. the ceiling caved in while he was in the house and lost the dog, she ended up returning after the storm. He was able to seek shelter. Lost living room & everything in Jes-Sea's room. Sucks since we just got it renovated. The point house roof came completely off and is in the front yard. Pretty sure we are going to bulldoze it down. Of course all fences, trees down. Good ol clubhouse and hotel rooms made it thru/ thank goodness we just replaced the sliding glass doors, they held up well. Airstrip is great! Most neighbors flying in tomorrow. Joe and I already shopping for supplies and flying out soon, with Bossman in tow. MY wonderful office not touched! Had internet and internet phone immediately flowing the storm. Everyone in Devils Point is fine. No houses destroyed or person's hurt. Regular hurricane damage, trees, shingles, leaks. 50 power poles down b/w HN & New Bight. Flamingo Bay did good as well, Jerry and Donna just visited me in FL, Chris & Kristi stayed at there house ( the ones running the golfcourse project). Marina docks damaged but nothing we can't repair by November. ALL BOATS DOCKED AT HAWK'S NEST HAD MINIMAL/WIND DAMAGE. WHAT A GREAT SAFE PLACE TO RIDE OUT A HURRICANE!!!! WE WILL BE READY FOR WAHOO FISHING IN NO TIME!!! CHEERS HAWKS NEST MANAGER

Also looking for info regarding other homes near Gili. Looking to see also how some friends of our are - Carlto and Joan and their children, Mr. Zonicle and Sheila out of Port Howe. PLEASE PLEASE advise us if there is anything that we can do to help. Our love and best wishes are with everyone on the island.
