There is a post from Island Marketing http://grandcaymancruiseexcursions.com on Cruise Critic and they said there is no power so I doubt that Captain Marvins will be able to answer email just yet. They posted that the Buccaneer and Hannibal(Captain Bryans) Catamarans are okay, one of Nativeway's boats was washed/blown out of the water and is damaged but the other is fine. They didn't have any news on Capt Marvin but said so many boats were damaged.
I saw a picture of the Rum Point Ferry it was on top of a bunch of cars in the Hyatt parking lot, ouch!!!

I wonder if the force of the hurricane moved or destroyed the sandbar of Stingray City.

This is the email I just received from Capt. Marvins
To all of you who have written with questions about how we are doing
after
> Hurricane Ivan, here is a brief update. Thank you for your prayers and

>
> The island has been ravaged by the hurricane. Most people have sustained
> damage to their homes and businesses. The trees are mostly gone; what are
> left standing have few or no leaves/fronds left on them. There are
> literally tons and tons of debris that need to be cleared, but this
> massive task is underway and there is a great improvement already.
>
> Capt. Marvin's Watersports lost two of our three locations, but the one
in
> town at the Waterfront Centre is intact and although we have sustained
> some water damage, everything else seems to be fine here. We lost one of
> our boats but hope to bring that back up and get it going again. All of
> our crew, staff and owners and their families are well, which is the
> biggest blessing of all. We are thankful for life.
>
> Grand Cayman has never in recorded history been hit directly by a
> hurricane, much less a category 5 hurricane such as Ivan was, with
> sustained winds of over 165 mph, and gusts up to 208 mph recorded at the
> airport.
>
> Flights with returning residents and emergency/humanitarian supplies are
> arriving daily. One cruise ship arrived today with no tourists, but with
> humanitarian supplies, for which we are very grateful. We plan to be up
> and going whenever the first tourist arrives here, by land or by sea. We
> are actually capable of running at almost full capacity already, so we
> will be ready as soon as the first tourists arrive again.
>
By the way, the Turtle Farm survived the storm in great shape!
> Thank you again for all of your prayers and concern. I apologize for the
> global email, but just don't have time to write to everyone individually

Thanks for posting that... I have been been on one of Capt Marvins tours and loved it. Ive been wondering how they were, and Im glad to hear that for the most part they are ok. I'd like to email Ruth, but I know they are all just too busy right now. Appreciate this update.
