While the article puts a government spin on this exercise, there really was no reason to come armed, with dogs, at 06:00 in the morning! This is not BVI Love.

Nanny Cay has told me in the past that the officers do a lot of compliance checks for boat importation certificates, but this seems to be the first time that they checked the boats at the docks as well! One more nail in the coffin of BVI tourism. Although I was on St. Martin last week (the place where the license plate reads "the friendly island") and had some motorcycle hooligans attempt to extort money from drivers with an improvised roadblock that was set before the actual roadblock on the French side set up by people with actual grievances - that wasn't much of an advertisement for tourism, either.
