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.

Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
