The basis of your argument is SERIOUSLY flawed!

The bridge is slated to be closed till next spring so that work can be performed on it during this summer. The hotel won’t be built for at least for TWO YEARS! Simply incredulous how positively A$$-BACKWARDS some folks can be.

If the PLP had been more concerned about putting money into the countries INFRASTRUCTURE, the swing bridge, the “Bailey Bridge”, the crappy roads, the decrepit buses, the lack of properly maintained ferries, and the bathrooms at John’s Smith Bay (destroyed during HURRICANE FABIAN and just now being fixed by the OBA)and the most recognized Bermudian icon, the Gibbs Hill Lighthouse which was repaired for far less than the $500,000 the PLP “claimed” it would cost.

Government does not realize how much damage it has done to The Tourist product of St George’s. By not allowing boats to pass into Castle Harbor from ferry reach. The tour boat industry from St George’s would use these islands as the place to go for snorkeling, swimming or even just viewing these forts, the rich and famous houses and the historic stories of these forts.
It is really a million dollar industry being lost. For boats to go on the out side of South Shore the weather makes it so unpredictable the consistency makes it almost not doable. To repear the bridges both longbird
And swing bridge would turn around the tour boat industry in St George’s. This is a shot in the arm that St George’s could use so bad. To talk about building a hotel in St George’s and not talk about repairing these bridge is crazy. So I guess when the hotel guess want to go snorkeling they will have to go to Dockyard for a adventure on a boat including snorkeling why when if these bridges were fix we have properly the most remote and beautiful spot on the island in the parish of St George’s that is difficult to get to.

@ Ignoramus….

Very true Hamma, I have seen some big Hammerheads and other species there at night. I’ve caught quite a few sharks there as well.

My brother caught a Seven foot Thresher Shark (nose to base of tail by the way) next to Castle Island one night, as well as two six foot reef sharks.
