Well we are here in the USVI getting ready for charter. The internet is much more cumbersome to use here since we have to go back to dialing up through the cell phone. At least it works, albeit slowly, so no photos today!

However I want to share a link to an update on the Beef Island court case, the BVI’s first environmental suit. They are trying to stop the huge development slated for the Beef Island mangroves that I had mentioned earlier.

  1. So, any news from this court case? Are they any closer to stopping the development, or is it just going to drag out even longer?

  2. They have postponed the decision, so there won't be any developments for a while (no pun intended)
