Report from George Town, Exuma
Posted: 07 Oct 2016 06:48 AM PDT
Some boats at the houseboat dock in kids cove got a thorough thrashing. None sunk, but major upper hull and deck damage when lines parted and they were hitting each other.
Nine boats broke free in the hurricane holes. Three or four holed with damage and sunk.
Three in behind February point that will probably have to get cranes to plop them back in. Two more sank behind crab cay.
But no injuries down here that we know if either. The surge in the south wasn’t tooooo bad. Don’t know about Moss Town area, but it was probably 5-6 feet. Far far less than Lilly!
