Damage from Hurricane Dorian at Elbow Cay
From: Mike
Subject: Abacos
Well sed, from an old salt down in New Orleans and surrounding waters. I’ve always enjoyed your articles.
Dear CYOB,
I just read your editorial comments about the devastation caused by Hurricane Dorian in the Abacos. Sadly, a tropical storm is projected to pass over these islands this weekend.
Twenty years ago, these islands were devastated by Hurricane Floyd (Force 4/5), requiring massive reconstruction efforts to ensure charter sailors would return to these enchanted islands.
I thought you might be interested in reading the article I wrote, eight months after Floyd. We can only hope for the same outcome after Dorian.
