The only info I've seen was from Gina at Swain Sailing (I've also been in touch with her, they manage our boat, which is fortunately in Newport RI right now). The update she got was that things weren't too bad, but I believe that was all during the eye of the storm. I saw another post (no idea how reliable) that some boats were piled on top of each other..
So until something new comes in, I'd expect the worst and hope for the best. Things could have changed when the winds changed.
I still can't believe all the damage and wish we could do more to help.

I don't know if Rob was there or not. If I hear anything, I'll let you know.

I got this post from a fellow sailor who had their boat at Nanny Cay last season: "Just found out Nanny Cay all boats on hard blown over, they don t tie down alot of their boats, Most of the boats in the water there piled up, destroyed, Moorings took a hard hit, Village Cay Boats Destroyed too, looks like anything that was in the water destroyed."
I just got this too, "Lots of direct reports from people who live near Nanny Cay, to Brittany Meyers that total extensive damage to Nanny Cay and most of the yachts there."

hallucination - I had Nanny Cay put in tie-downs and sand screws as well. But I guess it is going to be a domino-effect - if one goes over then they all do. I'll play the Schrödinger's cat game -- "Zanshin" is alive and well while being dead and gone at the same time ---- until I get a picture or note which slams the quantum door closed. Of course that is supposing that Hurricane José doesn't decide to follow in Irma's destructive footsteps

Arnt, a rig at 45 is better than no rig. I think BVI will become a "powercat" charter place for a while. if you could get masts, who would install?

Looks like the Trade winds Cats in the background all made it, 5 masts sitting tall. Amazing. Now there's some good news! Seems there are at least a handful of boats at Nanny Cay that made it through basically unscathed. Providing same link, but in clickable format. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...ype=3&ifg=1

hallucination said: Can't find any. But it was described to me as a pond. there are no docks, no boats, all piers are gone. All the boats are "over there".
an aside, Beef Island airport is a pancake. You can't trust everything you are hearing. I heard Leverick docks were gone, tower at the airport as well. Neither is true. Heavy damage at Leverick with the buildings at the end of the dock gone, but the docks are still there. Airport tower is there too, although probably damaged.

Which one is yours in that? I can't tell from looking at it above. And I can't believe it is on land since you said it was in the water, right? FYI, Rob swain checked in yesterday.
