Everybody is in varying stages of mourning and recovery, even us many miles away. Obviously to a much lesser degree.

The folks on island are bouncing back to varying degrees I assume as well. Some just do, some have more energy, ready resources, some have better insurance.

From a distance much of what I visited has been heavily hit. And I here tidbits of bounce back on some and silence on others.

So, I too would like to visit for a day soon on a boat. But a land vacay looks probably 6-12 months or more away.

Mt Vernon was hit hard. Gonna need a good roofer at lest. Club O was mostly destroyed .A few chalets standing, but I bet they need gutting. Grand Case not good.

It's amazing though how people,bounce back when the will is there. Lumber here, tile there, next thing you know, back in business.

ALL IT TAKES IS ENERGY AND MONEY........AND TIME.......AND FOR ALL INVOLVED I HOPE THEY CAN FIND IT.
