IRMA Aftermath

I have often blogged about adventures in the West Indies on the Schooner TIKI. Captain Ted always said "You have to visit Foxy's on Jost Van Dyke'"
My recollection is there was a pig turning slowly on the spit with the blue aroma of marijuana in the air and no electricity. Fast forward fifty years and IRMA visited Jost and now Foxy's Bar & Restaurant has the only generator on the island so Foxy's has become the de facto command center and lifeline. The popular drink there is called a Painkiller. But IRMA played no favorites as Richard Branson the founder of the Virgin Group weathered the storm inside a wine cellar in his home on Necker Island that he owns which home was destroyed. He has spearheaded relief efforts but did not indicate whether that included sharing the contents of his wine cellar.
