    Ya boy, big ole ships. Tourism is so fragile to base an economy, oh just ask St.Croix, still haven’t recovered from one incident in the 70s, all diverted to other stolen lands Key West, Australia, Europe even . You need experienced folks with knowledge and conniving to fit into this tourism model or back to agriculture-based mix economy.

    According to environmental sources, it scores a D for air pollution and it spent all day at Woodbridge Bay with smoke pouring from its funnel. How can this be compatible with Nature Island ?
