Our friends in the Bahamas (on boats) survived just fine, as have the ones
up the east coast (or at least as far as Boston where the eye is, now).

There is dock and other not-too-severe damage to the Stocking Island
beachfront establishments we favor in George Town; Abaco/Marsh Harbour had
the airport open and most roads driveable the day after the eye, and
Treasure Cay did pretty well, considering that they were nearly in the eye
(just east of it); boats there generally were undamaged or merely
scratched...

Phew...

Our hearts go out to those south of there, as there was general mayhem,
including that the settlement in Acklins is 90% *gone*, and, overall, in the
Bahamas, 90% of structures had some damage.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.
Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
