Mr. Johnson continues to make those claims:

"As the Biras Division Managers and others know, Biras was intended to be closed nine years ago before we entered into the lease."

Johnson's Claims to the employees

If Johnson's claims are false or without merit that should greatly simplify Bert Houwer the actual owner contracting with a great small resort operator or management company to reopen the place. Both groups heavily investing in the property during their time with the keys. Our group really like the place. On most cruises we would at least have dinner at Biras one night. Other guests on the boat would start or complete their trip at Biras. Scrub can be great but is less consistent. Little Dix while closed now for its own renovations was not always a welcoming place to visiting yachtsmen.

Without joining a solid small resort network the marketing will be a major uphill slog to weather in high seas.
