It is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the difficult decision to cancel the 2023 Shell Show. The devastation our island has suffered is nearly incomprehensible. Our spirits are strong but we have a difficult, and lengthy, recovery process ahead of us. Even if we personally get back into our island homes by March (which is highly doubtful), the resorts and other facilities won’t be ready to accept guests. Many of our island favorite restaurants have been severely damaged or destroyed as well. We will be back in 2024, God willing, but our island will be changed forever which you will see when you are able to visit. We appreciate all of the good thoughts and prayers sent our way. We need all of them.
