Potential good news for our little island. Tough to watch just one year out from Hurricane Florence. The eye of the hurricane is just 20 miles from Bald Head right now!!

We had the opportunity to explore the new aquatic addition and ocean view restaurant at the Bald Head Island Club this week and it was amazing! So lucky to have this just beside our villa complex!

A quick update on our villa - Property owners were finally allowed to access the island about 2 weeks ago. We were very fortunate to not have had any flooding in our garage area and some repairs are needed where we had a few leaks due to roof damage from the strong winds of Florence. We had already moved our golf carts to higher ground prior to the storm and they were both fine as well. We left the island doing what we could to prepare for what was then a potential category 4 hurricane. We feel fortunate that it became a category 1 before landfall. We were very lucky!! The island is recovering well and there are rumors that the golf course will reopen soon. All restaurants and stores are now back open. Our thoughts are with those that have more substantial repairs needed as well as those that are now recovering from the wrath of Hurricane Michael.

Bald Head Island Marina remains closed due to Hurricane Florence. Once power, water, and sewer are restored to the island, and when the Village of BHI permits, we will resume operations. The Village and it’s various employees and contractors are doing an amazing job of putting the Island back together. Let’s give them the time they need, and the thanks they deserve!

Thanks to everyone for your calls and texts regarding Bald Head Island. We don't have much information, but have been actively monitoring the ferry cameras on the island that are still working and social media. It is great to see that sunshine on the ferry camera today! We do know that 6 individuals chose to stay on the island rather than evacuate. All 6 are safe and accounted for and I am told they are in good spirits. They have not reported any structual damage although there are lots of trees down and some flooding (although we don't know how much!). Today the Village Emergency Operations Center is assessing the island to do an initial safety sweep. This will be the fiirst official information we will receive from the island. We were very fortunate that this ended up a category 2 storm instead of the initial forecast of a category 4! The island has weathered these types of storms before. Many infrastructure improvements have also been made to the island since the last hurricane came through. Due to the Village's Shoreline Management Program and beach stabilization efforts in recent years resulting in a more substantial primary frontal dune system, we hope the storm surge will not have the same effects as in previous storms. Furthermore, the Village and the BHI club (which our home is located right beside) implemented their floodwater management plan prior to the hurricane and began removing wather from the lagoons under our villa and into the Bald Head Creek. I am hopeful this will reduce the effect of flooding, although I expect with the amount of rain we had, we will still see some effects of flooding. Overall, I have been impressed with the way all the Bald Head Island property owners banded together to weather this storm. Our thoughts are with all of those impacted by this hurricane and expect that we will all remain "Carolina Strong".
