Subject: White Bay Dock
Serenity in the BVI is under threat again! The "powers" that be have
decided that a certain influential individual should be allowed to construct
a dock in White Bay on Jost van Dyke. This island is home to only 150 or so
people. The former Chief Minister Cyril Romney - mastermind of the Dolphin
program (captive dolphins are kept in polluted water for cruise ship people
to harass), the Prospect Reef hotel fiasco (he sold timeshares at a place he
didn't own), and the main agent to get every cruise ship in the world to
come to the BVI - is now trying to get a dock constructed in beautiful White
Bay - home of the world famous Soggy Dollar Bar, Gertrude's and the infamous
Ivan's (as sung about by Kenny Chesney). There has never been a dock in
this area for a number
of reasons - serenity, environmental concerns, etc. Now, Romney has
decided that he can get some more cruise ships to come to Jost van Dyke if
there will be a dock for the guests to get onto the island.
Currently, boaters have to swim ashore for food and drinks hence the name -
Soggy Dollar Bar. It's the draw to that bay. It's why people have been
coming here for years. Most days, there isn't enough electricity, water and
sewage treatment to take care of the local population much less any
tourists. If hundreds more a day were added to the mix, you can imagine the
dire consequences.
Please help us stop this infringement on Mother Nature and the BVI. Click
on the link below and sign the petition to stop the construction of this
dock. All of the online signatures will be collected and sent along with
the petition that is going on the island right now. Both will be presented
by Ivan to the Chief Minister and the Legislative Council soon.

Please take a moment and sign! Pass it along to others in your contact
list. These things do work. We still have our airport on Virgin Gorda and
it's even been upgraded since we started the petition on that 2
years ago. Thank you, Jeff and Casey
