Ike passed us last monday but something strange happened in the night of Thursday to Friday.\u00a0 From what I was told, lots of very large waves crashed into George Town and on Seven mile beach. The\u00a0 result was lots of beach erosion, many stones\/pieces of coral and the beach looking terrible. Here are some pictures I took with my trusty Blackberry ; I had not taken my camera since I was not expecting to really see anything out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

This drop is by my estimates about 3-3.5ft.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The normally pristine beach is littered with stones and coral.\u00a0 On the flip side, I am sure that by next week, the government and hotels\/condos will have cleaned it all up!\u00a0 I know after Gustav there was some damage & debris and it was all cleaned up quickly.\u00a0 Seven mile beach is where most tourists stay, so has to be top shape.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On another note, I took the ocean drive back home the other day along the South Sound district.\u00a0 There is a house that has been in construction for a while.\u00a0 Let me tell you that this place will be massive.\u00a0 I have heard figures of up to 30M$ for this place.\u00a0 My feeling is that is somewhat high. However, it is definitely in the multimillion dollars in cost for sure.\u00a0 When I passed by there were at the very least 12-15 people working on the site.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pictures do not do this place justice.\u00a0 Its absolutely HUGE with a great view of the ocean. I am sure the owner will enjoy it. It looks great ; hope I get invited to some event\/function there \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
