The Harbour Island Club & Marina sustained damage during Hurricane Floyd, most if it to the dock, but the damage was far from what it might have been. While the dock boards were heavily damaged, most of the pilings remain in place, which will help hasten our return to service, which we are beginning immediately.
The west roof of the bar and grill was blown away but it is more than 50% repaired at the moment, and should be completly within a week or two.
Additionally, our new kitchen addition is progressing nicely and will be ready for the coming season.
We are looking forward to our opening with all new state of the art pedestals with all new electric and water systems as well as the addition of cable TV.
At the moment the opening date is undetermined, but we are aiming for early to mid December, and we will likely be open for the Millennium. Repairs will begin within 3 to 4 days.
We will be back with you in about two weeks with a definite opening date.
We would like to thank all of our customers from the past and look forward to seeing all of you, as well as newcomers, in the not too distant future.
