....my friend says, "They don't have wifi or power yet. It's estimated that it'll be back on
September 22."

So there.

My buddy in the BVI lost all three of his boats...one he lives on, one he had ties to it and was used as storage and a 19' day sailor. He's ok though...just got a message from his brother this morning. Odd..the live aboard was a boat he found blown inland from a previous hurricane. I imagine he'll be shopping around for another survey project once the insurance people have done their writing off.
Besides being a Capt up to a certain tonnage, he is a licensed surveyor.

All in all it was a totally bad deal...

He's a character who somehow lands on his feet. usually things are slow down there during the summer so he survives on his small canada Pension and a pension from the British Virgin Islands supplemented with his duties as Hurricane Warden for the Roadtown area. His brother just told me that now Vic is working for a salvage company. I'm sure he'll find a new home before too long.

He doesn't bum around, Justine....he works when it's available in the winter months. If a ditz like y'all wanted to cruise for a week on a sailboat, I'd highly recommend y'all hire a boat with a captain (such as him) to save you from doing something stupid. He teaches sailing to tourists, does some commercial scuba diving...even worked on a movie a number of years back. He transports boats from port to port for clients...such as the numerous boat charter companies down there. A lot of this work is dependent on a healthy tourist season.
