Cleanup will take years

Thank you for sharing, Andy. Heartbreaking. A sailor my friends and I met on St Barth in early July 2017 lost his sailboat, Nikimat, while moored at Simpson Bay.
 
It will be especially hard since a large Bahamian tug and barge and Crain which does salvage work went down after being asked to assist only to be turned away after salvaging 1 boat. They were told their paper work was not in order. Before they went they were to,d you only need passports for the crew and documentation papers for the vessel. Sometimes the bureaucrats allow things like this to stop progress. These attitudes will hold sxm back from returning to normality for quite a while.
