Sad to report the following from Mirian:
Dear All, finally an update on Passaat! We, Pieter, Mirian Ebbers & Goof are fine. We have a good place to stay. Passaat is gone, she sank in Simpson Bay Lagoon, but not without a battle, Pieter stayed on board as long as he could and then had to choose for himself. I stayed in Simpson Bay Resort. Now we have moved to a little house in Guana Bay and are managing. I will keep you posted. Big hug!

Ditto.
We have done several trips on the Passat and loved both the boat and the owners. Sad as it is to lose such a lovely and IMHO, irreplaceable vessel, at least her owners are safe.
Respectfully,

I think they had recently installed a new sail.

One of the better and more relaxing excursions one could do on SXM. I even got a little Labrador fix when on the boat.

Do you think they may try to raise her?
I wonder about their friend Han. We sailed with him, and I believe his boat is the Condor. EDIT: Just learned he came out ok, and sailed to Martinique after Irma.
