Same Prefect, so it if it happens on St Barth then it will happen on St Martin.

Space was being measured and pictures were being taken. At issue is mainly Rainbow and Java who just did whatever they wanted with no regards for the beaches - according to people we spoke with. A gendarme was with the politicians and “nature foundation” people - not sure there actual names.
