As a sailor (with my own boat) it looks like they want to get revenue from the USVI charter boats who buy groceries, liquor, etc. in the USVI and then sail in the BVI's?

Last year it was something similar when they wanted to charge charter boat crews and owners to work on their own boats in the BVI's (a permit fee).

Every year it seems like it is some new fee, tax or permit cost in the once friendly BVI's. Geeze.
