In the wake of TC Debbie we received this note from Abell Point Marina's Marketing Manager Joscelyn O'Keefe. It said “Firstly, we would like to thank all our customers, suppliers, operators and industry colleagues who have sent message of support and well wishes in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Debbie. Our team and their families are well and greatly appreciate your kind words. Today marks one week since the super storm passed over the Whitsunday coast and the resilience and spirit of the boating and Whitsunday community has been incredible. Despite no power, water and limited communications the recovery effort has commenced in full and huge progress is being made throughout the marina precinct. Repair work is underway, the recovery plan is in action, operators are back running and we are well and truly open for business!”
