Praying For The People Of The Bahamas

Hurricane Irene has already caused widespread damage to the Southeastern and Central Bahamas. It looks like the eye may have passed right over North Eleuthera this morning and is targeting The Abacos today. The predicted track puts Irene right over Marsh Harbor and Great Guana Cay. This would put the eye just to the east of Treasure Cay, but I'm afraid not far enough east to limit the effects.

We had actually started to make inquires to go back to Treasure Cay for the upcoming Labor Day weekend prior to Irene forming way out in the Atlantic. We might still go depending on the aftermath of today's events. Anyway, we are praying for all the wonderful people of the Bahamas. Sidney, we hope to see you very soon! Stay safe.

  2. No word yet as of this morning. Reports from surrounding areas in The Abacos is the "it could have been worse." Lots of trees down, some flooding, etc, but nothing specific on Treasure Cay yet. I'll post as soon as I get news. Thanks.

  6. My father in law lives at Royal Palms. I just got off the phone with Captain Forty. Everyone is fine. No damage to condos. One of our boats lost its outriggers and the planks from dad's lot dock are on their way to North Carolina :-). Please pass this on to anyone that has been asking. Electric and phones still out. Dad will be on the boat..it has a generator..in the marina. Hope this helps for those looking for information about Treasure Cay.
