The buyer is supposed to be heading down soon, but I don't think anyone's actually been down to French Wells where the boat was anchored. Our Bahamian friend had his fishing boat on land and it was driven across the road into his lawn, so that doesn't bode well, and it doesn't bode well for anyone getting down there soon. I'm trying not to act as if Secret is the most important thing, either. I'd love to have news, but the homes and livelihood of my friends there are a higher priority.<br /><br />I'll let you know as soon as I hear something for sure...<br /><br />M.Melissa Jenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671992975667465476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34713524.post-79126789066994089952011-09-05T05:02:17.235-04:002011-09-05T05:02:17.235-04:00Melissa,

I have emails out to my Bahamian friends, but I haven't heard word of Secret yet. Her buyer, however, doubts that she made it through the storm. Last night I dreamt of a schooner sinking into the ocean--make of that what you will.Melissa Jenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671992975667465476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34713524.post-71529004151807613492011-08-25T09:47:06.284-04:002011-08-25T09:47:06.284-04:00Dear Melissa,

Some of your best pictures and posts came from your description of the people there. I know you are glad you got Secret out in time, though it is no down a mixed feeling. <br /> I hope the lovely Atlantic coastal houses "K" worked on installing SS rigging porch railings remain intact. <br /> Do you have any thoughts to share?<br /><br />The Capt'nwfrennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030702452611848782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34713524.post-83863317906908358132011-08-25T09:41:48.538-04:002011-08-25T09:41:48.538-04:00testtestwfrennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030702452611848782noreply@blogger.com
