Does anyone have an idea of where the marina in the photo is located? The steep hilside in the background makes me think it's probably not in Florida, which seemed pretty flat the one time I visited the state. One of the Caribbean Islands perhaps?

I believe that photo is of a marina in Grenada...but then I was wrong once before so it could always happen again.

I suppose if you superimposed a picture of Mt. St. Helens in the background it would give the right impression.

I'm in the Port St Lucie- Vero Beach area working on claims. Drove by a few marinas and was very surprised to see how many boats were still standing. I'd say the larger marinas I drove by had less than 25% of the boats on the ground.

Looks absolutely terrible. My first reaction was to say out loud "good lord." At least none of the boats became submarines.
