A smaller project, similar in size to Leverick, could be a nice addition, however the mega yachts seem to be a major focus of this proposal. I started visiting in 1982 and I often think about what STJ looked like and felt like back then...perfect! I've taken advantage of the islands progress through the years renting beautiful villas around Cruz Bay and I've promoted the heck out of the island myself. Late 90's we gravitated to the "Quiet Side" to try to recapture the feeling of "back in the day" when the hillsides weren't all lit up at night with villa lights. Each time there is a little compromise on projects like this...when construction starts you will never be able to reverse its negative effects on the community. I agree that a reasonably sized marina and a transient mooring field would be beneficial...but messing with the clean waters and eco system of the "Quiet Side" scares me...if it's a planning disaster there's no where else for us to find the back in the day feeling in Love City!
