Here are some pictures I took this morning at Captain’s Quarters:
Great news everyone– power, cable and telephone lines have been restored at Surfside! The resort is up and running, and employees are working quickly to clean the rooms for arrivals and prepare the resort for check-ins! Management is contacting all arrivals to let them know about this wonderful update!
Good Morning All,
Nstar worked at restoring power very late last night. Currently Surfside’s power was not restored and management at the resort have been contacting Nstar to rush technicians back out to the property. They have also been contacting Comcast to get their cable and telephone lines running. We are crossing our fingers that technicians will be able to restore all power today. We will keep everyone updated!
