On an earlier post you were speculating that a meeting with the Club O employees might mean they were getting their jobs back - this after it was publicly announced that OBC would be filing for bankruptcy (or whatever French equivalent). Of course we all know they lost there jobs. Now you are suggesting that Cedric is renting 150 chairs a day at $10 per chair if an umbrella is included and extrapolating that to $10,000 per week and that the “Owners are going to want that revenue back”. Well firstly the owners never got the beach chair rental revenue - this was revenue to OBC, the hotel operation and the employer of all the staff. Secondly, 150 people per day at Club O is a big big stretch. I’m here now and have been for more than a week and we have not seen those numbers yet.

I for one am thrilled that Cedric has taken the initiative and made chairs and umbrellas available at this very special CO beach. There is an inference in your post that Cedric is making lots of money and that is clearly not the case. There are a lot of SXM people working their butts off to keep this little piece of paradise somewhat close to what we have all enjoyed in the past - people that lost pretty much everything - people that are trying to make a living - people that so many tourist know and love from all their visits to the island. None of them are getting rich but the people visiting are glad they’re here. Let’s stick to the facts.
