Update from Orchid Bay, Abacos

Posted: 10 Jan 2020 05:59 AM PST

Orchid Bay, Guana Cay, Abacos

At present, we have no docks and are currently serving gas and diesel from our roadside pump seven days a week. There are plans to rebuild at least one dock soon. Sunsetter Restaurant was badly damaged but we have it up and running from Thursday through Sunday for dinner only and with a limited menu. It is very casual and open air with no walls but at least it gives people somewhere to go and have a meal and a glass of wine.

Those are all the updates we have at the moment. Hope this helps.

Kind regards.

UPDATE: Harbour View Marina, Marsh Harbour

Posted: 10 Jan 2020 05:57 AM PST

NEWS FROM HARBOUR VIEW MARINA, Marsh Harbour
As for Harbour View Marina & Blue Wave Boat Rentals…we are working hard to have boat rentals available to rent this March. Out of our fleet of 20 boats, 19 are salvageable and in varying stages of repair work. The plan for Harbour View Marina is to rebuild the docks as soon as possible and we will have a temporary office building in place while we are getting the construction portion of the office buildings completed. Our hope is to have a fully operational marina and a temporary fuel dock for this upcoming late spring/early summer season. Wally’s restaurant is in full recovery mode and we are working towards an opening in early spring. We are looking forward to a better, stronger Marsh Harbour and doing all we can to make that happen.
Thank you for reaching out and I look forward to updating you with progress along the way.
Thanks,
Troy
