I am posting the message I sent to owners at Nautibeach Condos! To : Owners at Nautibeach

I just had a telephone call from Dave Hochmayr who had just got off the phone with our Owners Rental Pool Manager, Katy. She had taken refuge down the west side of the island at a hotel that was a bit more protected from the hurricane. She hitch hiked up to Nautibeach this afternoon to survey the damage.

The building is still intact!!!!! Every tree on the property has been blown down except for the ones on the beach. And there is still a beach!

The pool bar palapa has been blown into the pool itself. The other palapa by the side of the pool has been blown down. The restaurant bar by the beach was blown away totally. Sergio's bar to the west of our property (Playa Sol) was blown away entirely also.

Katy could not get into many of the units since the doors were swollen shut due to moisture. But the ones she could get into on the first floor had suffered no water flooding. I was told that during Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, there had been flooding in the first floor units. The only broken windows that she could see were in unit # 22.

90% of the power lines on the island are down. They are guessing that it will be a month before power is back on the island. The ferry boats are expected to resume tomorrow and a lot of people are saying that they are going to leave the island during this interim without electricity.
