Sunset Captiva 51 survived Ian with only some repairable roof damage! And a few other repairs that are easily resolved (when materials or help are available). Thanks to all who reached out with concern. Not sure when the Sanibel Causeway will be open to the general public and the islands open for rentals. Each day things get better, but ”normal” is a ways out. Pray for many who lost their homes and where each day is a challenge!
