Wreck Bar at Yankee Clipper at risk of closing!! - General Tiki

As I was attending a meeting with the Clipper regarding Hukilau a couple of weeks ago they informed me that the Clipper was undergoing a renovation next year. I had heard about this last year and my fear was that the corporate monsters would choose to level the classic building and build an even larger hotel so that they could pack more bodies in for vacation dollars. They plan to "gut" the entire building were their exact words. When I asked about the Wreck Bar mum was the word but they said there were no official plans to keep it. The ship building will stay intact and not be raised. Please, write the Sheraton, tell them of the great times you've spent there at Hukilau, tell them of Marina the Mermaids swims and how magical they are, tell them how much it means to you and maybe, just maybe, they'll keep this treasure. This Hukilau we will have the Wreck Bar to ourselves during the day functions as I'm blocking off the hotel lobby access. There will be plenty of time to enjoy during the weekend! So much in Florida has disappeared or is at risk or closing and being raised. Visit these classic locations as often as you can - it might be your last chance.
