Thanks so much for your updates through the
hurricane, your news was the only word we could get as to what was happening in
the islands. If you have any recent news as to how Walter and Penn's Landing
fared would be much appreciated.
Once again Thanks, great job. Best wishes from
Ontario Canada

Walter is fine and the boats mostly survived at
Penn's Landing, though I believe some on anchor broke loose.
