Nanny Cay's maintenance crew has been in full swing cleaning up after the passing of Hurricane Earl yesterday. Like much of the BVI, trees, branches and a lot of leaves were lost. But that was it. All the yachts in the boatyard are still standing and all the yachts on docks the afloat; some have a little "scuff" damage. Everything stood up well. Even Peg Legs at the mouth of the marina only suffered two broken fans and a broken cupboard door; re-opening is still on schedule.
