Our thanks to good friend, Greg Allard, for this report.

I’ve been in contact with the Bimini Sands Marina, which is on South Bimini. Jonisha at the marina advises that they had no damage, and they are fully operational. This is good news.

The early reports from West End, Port Lucaya and the Grand Bahama Yacht Club (all on Grand Bahama) indicate that they are not open; the amount of damage is unknown. Since those marinas, and their counterparts on Bimini are the
two main points of entry into the Bahamas for most cruisers, those heading to the Bahamas may find themselves relying on Bimini as their first port-of-call until the marinas on Grand Bahama reopen.
