what is an ambassador at large? it sounds like a bullshit job that gets govt salary for not actually doing anything? same for Fox and sebas, like how much are they getting paid and what job are they actually supposed to be doing? Can I be appointed ambassador at large too please, it sounds like a cool job with lots of all expense paid vacations? where do I apply? oh? I see...
To be fair, the track record of grounded barges and freight ships in this county is to abandon and leave the vessel where she sits. case in point, there are currently 2 abandoned barges right now in various states of decay on once healthy reef ecosystems. the sand on one is still sitting there where it was left. I don't blame the fellas for thinking the barge was abandoned and left if there was no clear indication that the vessel was left to the elements. There was that freight boat in Long Island, left to sink and rot. There was that barge near Great Exuma left to rot as a navigation hazard that govt eventually got around to moving after someone died or almost died on it. The image I saw that barge is high and dry and not moving until the freight is taken off and the load lightened. They are lucky to have a calm weather window this week but if they don't get it moved by the weekend the next blow will compromise the hull if she is not already holed. I agree with Munroe, where was the owners rep to secure the merchandise? it is not our tax payer dollars that should have to foot the bill to protect some foreigners property that happened to float into Bahamian waters. Next time ensure the tow cable is not old and compromised. If the weather is inclement slow down - almost a guarantee that the owner was pushing the captain to make the delivery as quickly as possible and pushing the safety envelope. We all learn lessons the hard way sometimes.
moratorium is plain dumb artificial manipulation of the market place the arbitrarily assigns who wins and who loses. that young one struggling to get going in life may lose a big opportunity or that wealthy person may get to pad their nest egg even more and it all depends on WHO you know and how lucky you are that day. the awarding of taxi plates is the oldest form of cronyism in the country flat out hands down. prove me wrong please.
