Re: HURRICANE IRMA'S EFFECT IN BVI'S

I agree, that was looting, if it happened. I have not seen any news reports on that. Taking food and water from shuttered stores I would call survival.

Re: HURRICANE IRMA'S EFFECT IN BVI'S

I just got off the phone with a friend whose boat is moored inside the breakwater at Nanny Cay. His boat is damaged and lost it's rig but is otherwise intact and floating.

If anyone is in need of shelter please PM me and I will put you in contact with the owner.

It's exactly what to expect. It happened 15 years ago in St Martin and after Ivan in Grenada.

Some people survive by working together and helping each other. This is something else. This is a war zone.

Hey guys. My yacht was in here when it hit. Does anyone know how to get up to date info on the condition of them? Or has anyone seen any other pics of the bay?

Re: HURRICANE IRMA'S EFFECT IN BVI'S

There's lots of pics at Caribbean Buzz Helicopters Facebook page. Here's some pics of Paraquita Bay. My boat is in there somewhere.

Re: HURRICANE IRMA'S EFFECT IN BVI'S

For those of you trying to get info on a vessel in Paraquita Bay, current word is that the British Military isn't allowing access to Paraquita Bay at the moment. This explains why so little info has been coming out about the status of boats secured there.
