There's a bunch of Major League Baseball games supposed to being played there right now - funny they were saying how lucky those teams were as opposed to the ones who are getting snowed/iced out up north. What a spring.

Looks like they're going to get some alternative power in there

Are there no competent contractors anywhere in Puerto Rico?

When we were there in February we saw busloads of electricians at the end of their shifts being dropped off at the Sheraton.

Wonder how this will affect Summit's repo cruise on Saturday.

The news I've read days 24-36 hours to fix. Hopefully it'll be fine

I think it'd be the best place. It's up its running. The workers would be gone all day; out early, in by dark and tired. Maybe some stories to tell.

 

I like the central location and the proximity to the pier.

 

Unbelievable that some people in the outlying areas are still without power and it's been 8 months.

Most of the power has been restored. The rest is to be back on by noon. Airport didn’t close, most hotels and many businesses were on generators. Not too much of a disruption from what I’ve read in the news. The Summit should (better—I’m on it)sail her repo just fine.
