Poor little town needs Fahy or whom ever else to make an execute decision and have the channel widened.

I can not confirm but I think out of the four that ships scheduled to visit in April only one or two made it. Poor little town of St George. I hope next year is better.

I’m so sorry for the passengers. I hope they will take the ferry to St. George’s. They will miss a beautiful part of the island if they don’t. Nothing like it.

Triangle Drifter ..FYI It was Dr. Brown who first proposed to widen town cut channel and was turned down by The Then town leaders and his quick thinking after been turned down by St George’s took that money and built at second pier in Dockyard and without his great thinking we would only have one mega cruise ship and a lot less government revenue.
To Micro what a lovely idea but you forgot to mention what it would cost to build infrastructures such as Buses being able to get out there,a Ferry stop, Street widen with side walks Electrical powered sent out there Custom building etc. By time you build all of that you would have to almost build a new town. Did you think of that, when you have all of the above and more in the town Of St George’s. Stop Playing games with St George’s And WIDEN TOWN CUT CHANNEL

there is no other choice, if St George’s wants a cruise ship, TOWN CUT CHANNEL MUST BE MODIFIELD.

So sorry for the businesses of St Georges. Bet they had themselves all buffed up & ready. Windbag Brown didn’t get them this time. Mother Nature did.

Wonder what the feasibility is of building a cruise pier (in collaboration with the various cruise lines) off Ferry Reach. The summer months the north shore is usually fairly calm and no more exposed than the piers at Dockyard.

It is clear that getting a regular visitor to St George’s is not a political thing, but a business thing and that there are very few options. It is unfortunate that the OBA chose to politicize this in the lead up to the 2012 election, when really it seems irrelevant who is in power.
