Could you see any boats, planes, or debris in the water on the plane ride out of Marsh Harbor?

Not really. Pilot turned hard south as soo as we were off the ground. Was hoping to see Pete's pub, but we went into clouds before we got any distance south.

We saw plenty of debris in the water from shore while on Elbow. Still a couple of golf carts, a generator, tires, and quite a few boats.

Boat salvage/recovery hasn't began on elbow. There was a large crane on a barge out on the north side of Marsh Harbor when we were leaving. I think they were trying to get some ruined pilings/docks fushed out of the harbor on that side.

From what I witnessed while there, they have made substantial progress in cleanup since our last trip. The vegetation has made quite a recovery as well.


Electricity is still very much a luxury.
The generator that powers the abaco inn went down multiple times a day, taking the running water along with it.

Monday, BPL (bahamas power & light) trucks showed up on elbow. The 2 crews were restringing powerlines, and burying new poles.

There was one bucket truck, and one auger/crane truck with 2-3 guys each.
Saw a few bundles of new poles that showed up on a barge.

Theres 1 old ford tandem dumptruck on the island, he's making runs all day every day we were there. Couple other little isuzu NPR type dump trucks also. The roof of the villa/cottage that tripleb and his wife stayed in was replaced while we were there, and they started on mine 2 days ago.

The donny viii has ruined 4 props since the storm.

G&L has bent 2 shafts and props.


Still lots of random dock pilings and sailboat masts in the water.

Donnie VIII drafts 4.5' and at low tide there's lots of spots that're only 5' deep. Not a lot of room for shit in the water.

You always call it face dork. You do realize that this RDP thing is all based on that. Most of Dave's business happens through face book. You don't impress me with your statements. It is 2019.

Dave has been anti Face Book since forever. He says he doesn’t make any money through Face Book. Maybe you have some different info you want to share? RDP is not based on FB, never has been.

Dont like something you read on the internet? Keep moving.

Have you taken any time to share any of your travels/trips? I'd love to take a dump in a story you're telling. :D

Merry Christmas and RD SUX. ;)

Safe travels to your mom Robert.
