Some photos and pics from Coral Bay after Hurricane Irma

From Ron.
My brother Tom's boat, The Sadie Sea, rode out Hurricane Irma tied up near the USVI National Park Vistors Headquarters in Cruz Bay, St. John. According to Tom, his was the only boat to survive intact.

I found these pictures and articles today with stories about the conditions on St John after Hurricane Irma.

From National Parks Traveler:
The Sadie Sea is on the left, red hull.

From The Boston Globe (Sep 12)
You can see the slip that Sadie Sea was in. The Sadie Sea was not there when this photo was taken. You can see how all the leaves were stripped from the vegatation on the hillsides.

A closer look at Tom's neighbor, listing dangerously to starbord.

The two websites have pretty detailed stories about St John as of a couple of days ago. I will try to post how thing look tomorrow when Maria passes by.

  1. Thank you, Ron, for posting this. The damage from Irma is terrible. I don't know how much worse it can get with Maria.
