As most, I was shocked by the news. And, if you look in the largest SBR "Owners" group on Facebook the number of comments are in the 100s. Its all equal parts support, shock, fear and anger, and far too many people providing "keyboard" advice and opinions. Its troubling and a distraction.

We have been members at SBR 25 years. With each visit SBR improves and we cherish the island and the memories. My only thoughts are this.... This is an evil and unfortunate incident, and I really feel compassion for the victims, community, employees and visitors.

We are in initial planning stages for our next visit and this in no way will deter us from returning.

PS I always love this forum. I contribute little but follow regularly. Its my go-to reference for what to know and I appreciate the more-or-less ;-) level headed discussions.
