I think that's a good idea, and I'm in touch with Val on a regular basis... I'm sure if she knew she would probably be able to help in some fashion. But like you said, waiting on any type of governmental red tape to pass judgement, let alone the repairs once approved, would be unbelievably and brutally painfully sloooooooooow!

I bet this job could be done by a small crew of volunteers in 1 or 2 afternoons, certainly well enough to make a substantial improvement... And again, I wouldn't be suggesting if I weren't willing to be part of that crew! I love Cane Garden Bay, but how safe my dinghy is has a huge effect on my comfort zone in how long I stay there... just ask Malcolm, he knows I had to miss out on a great invitation last time he was there because one dinghy had already sunk! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
