Just came off the Odyssey, finally made it off Chuuk after several days, in Guam now and headed home. The Siren and Odyssey are stripped and vandalized, both were hung up on the reef on the south end of Weno. All crew and guests are ok, boats are likely totaled (or MAJOR refit) from what I saw. Thorfin, and a few other boats made it, but all other dive boats are aground, and were immediately set upon by the locals who vandalized and stole pretty much everything they didn't break. Be happy to discuss more when I get home.

Blue lagoon is ok, we all helped clean it up. Minor damage, food items were becoming scarce, cargo ship arrived today and began unloading supplies. Diving resumed today at Blue Lagoon, Felix was great, looking forward to going back in the future.

Island is in bad shape, many deaths, missing people, utilities down, many buildings destroyed, however in two days most roads were clear, and the utilities companies were out doing damage assessments and repair. Spoke to head of the team repairing power, says it will be at least June before they can get everything fixed and power back to everyone. Pretty much everything needed replacement.

Captain of the Siren is ok, bad cut and was knocked unconscious, myself and a doctor treated and monitored him. He was up and about this morning.
