Safe journey to all!
I have had Marine Ops demand my 26’ Fortier wait for the ferry to enter Town Cut. That was in my opinion excessive. However there should be an investigation as to how the Cruise Ship Ferry was able to dangerously transit the Town Cut precisely during the start of a well publicized International Doublehanded yacht race. That was in my option poor seamanship and risky dangerous lack of management.
Good riddance rich white people, you’re not welcome here…just your money.

You mean earing boy?
You may refer to him as earring boy, he’s better known as Colonel Handbag for his time carrying Jennifer’s Smith’s handbag for her.
Oh, I thought it had something to do with young boys in Jamaica.
