A few words from Tom

"Getting ready for round 2, boat is secure, in a secure house,
plenty of food and water.  Coast Guard and FEMA kicking ass!!!

According to the weather channel, winds have reached 50 MPH on St John and expected to go over 100 MPH by midnight.

The following are pictures I took on the Island two years ago.  Such a beautiful place.

 


Son, Tom


The Virgin Islands have been the US playground forever...


...and will be again.

Remember when.
Roofs now gone, trees uprooted or completely leafless.


Sadie Sea has survived the onslaught but almost no other boats from the island remain whole.



Sadie Sea has been evacuating people off the island for the last week.









What will become of the annual fundraiser for Team River Runner?




With scenery this beautiful the Islands will rise again.  But they will need lots of help.

                                                                  Stay safe, Tom.

  2. It is especially hard since we cannot do anything more now, but wait. I feel sure he will be okay but we still worry.
