Daily Herald storyThey aren't going to try again until March??? And shocking, they admit now there is damage to the vessel.

And I bet lack of $$ comes into play as well. Pretty sad.

That may all be true and part of the problem but the boat has been stuck for 6 weeks now and another 4 weeks will be missed of some of the busiest time on the island. I would think if one knew the right people and had the right amount of $$, there would be a way found to get this back into operation to capture some of high season. I am betting the operation of the business is history.
As I stated previously, we watched them working on the boat last March, hauling trash off and basically allowing it to blow all over the place. It was a very unimpressive operation and had disaster written all over it IMHO.
