Pat, if the jet ski ban is overturned, the places allowed are no where near where you stay......Crocus Bay...Long Bay...Forest Bay...Road Bay...
I believe there are some young people on the Island that have asked for jet skis for some time....as young people, they should have their voices heard.
Also there are some very large yachts that come in to AXA waters and use jet skis, I see this as being very unfair as I am sure the young folks see this as well.
I sure hope this never passes, but if it does, we all have our choices.kate <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/canada.gif" alt="" />


Got it, Kate, and thanks for the reminder. Sadly, we're probably going to be looking for new digs next trip so will keep that in mind.

I hear you about the local kids wanting the jet skis - they are fun - and it is their island - but I just so hate the things people often do on them be it here on our local lakes or in St. Maarten on some of the more populated beaches. People can and do get hurt using them.

As far as the mega yachts getting away with using them, I'm sure that's the case - they're just getting away with it and no one's about to stop some from doing whatever they choose when they think it's their right to do so, regardless of laws to the contrary. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
