Hi Robert,

We met on the dock at Leverick Bay last year when I was taking photos. I am the short blond charter broker that lives here on Tortola and represents Horizon, among others ... in case you forgot my name.

I am very sorry to hear of your wife's accident and I am certain that government would like to know about it.

Hillside's suggestion to contact the district rep (Mitch Turnbull) is a very good one. I suggest you write him a letter with a copy to the BVI Tourist Board and a copy to The Premier's office.

Unless I am mistaken, the dinghy dock is owned by government and should be properly repaired or removed to ensure no further injuries. At the very least, a sign should be posted saying "Use at your own risk", so that people are aware it is dangerous.

With the beginning of the season upon us, urgent action needs to be taken to avoid any repeat accidents. He has a face book page, perhaps you could message him and ask for his mailing address.
