Re: photographer

He is quite imaginative, creative and inventive.

Shela's Pot

Bob Malacarne planned to give the Governor a petition today to help Shela, at least, relocate.

People coming and ...

I've been wanting to write more about this ... it doesn't make sense. $2.5 million is nowhere near enough to buy "Maho Bay." It can't be more than a few acres, I suspect. Unfortunately, the Delegate's Web site includes no news release with details about anything included for the VI. And a ...

Really, this letter looks like a "reminder", and nothing more. It says boats shud pick up passengers at the docks which are "secured" ... the ferry dock in CB, the dock at Caneel, and the dock at the Westin. Reads like some captains were just picking up passengers off the beaches...
