Ok, landlocked here in Oklahoma, I know little about hurricanes. Can someone tell me why so many boats were left in harbors with no protection? Makes me sad to see them washed ashore. Are most undamaged/repairable? Thanks to John, Ruth and others for all their reports. Been praying for the island an...

I checked out the pool shots on the web site and they are both Bombalassy. It wouldn't matter though, both villas are almost identical. The only difference that we could see was the furniture.
