Tropical storm Katia is projected to be NNE of Puerto Rico Sunday. We will track this storm over the weekend and will give you all updates as possible. This storm has sustained winds of 60 mph and is moving at 20 mph NNW. It is too early to tell where it will go, but hopefully out to sea away from the U.S.
There was no significant damage to vessels in our yard during Irene. Just some covers torn, covers blowing around, enclosures torn etc. All vessels stayed on their stands and upright as they should. We have a tremendous amount of work to do on a lot of vessels. Many people are taking advantage of this necessary haul out to do some maintenance. We really appreciate the work.
I will be traveling on business for the next couple of days and I am leaving JB yard in capable hands. Keith Tosto is in charge. I am sure that Kendra will keep everyone in line. Please contact Keith or Kendra. Todd is overwhelmed with estimates on yard vessels and we are beginning to get calls for insurance estimates for vessels that stayed on lifts and at docks and anchor. Many vessel owners from Jacksonville to Manteo were not so fortunate and suffered a lot of damages. Many are still beached and awaiting salvage assistance. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please let us know if we are not responding quick enough and we will do our best.
Thanks
