Let's face it. The Meisters have abandoned Treasure Cay for greener pastures. They got their insurance money. If they don't do anything, they don't lose money. Someone would have to put millions into TC to even bring the marina back. And, with the Meisters iron grip on all the property, they aren't about to lease anything out nor would anyone pay anything to fix anything unless they know who the new owner is and what he is going to do. Without Kovats putting down some big bond to guarantee that he is going to actually do some rehab and not just sit on it, TC is dead in the water. The Bahama Beach Club is back so repair is possible. But, you have to care about it.

Maybe they can great rid of that money making scheme called “health visa” that has made the government $10 million and costs a family of four between $160 and $240. Or, let’s just keep fleecing the tourists!

Dominican Republic doesn’t have a “$40 Health Visa” and no tests. They are thriving. Health visa is probably here for good. Health visa just another way to fleece tourists. No way it costs $40 per person to operate. Or, is someone’s hand in cookie jar?!?

Abaco has become a haven for drug deals, murders, looting, stolen boats. The government just stands by and let’s it happen. Bye bye tourism. It will become another Freeport very soon. Sad, because it used to be such an idyllic place.

A family of four that may want to come to the Bahamas for a 3 day weekend just added more than $1,000 to their trip or $333 per day. Fully vaccinated still need a $200 antigen test which requires hours of your time besides the money, then $40 each for Health Visa (love to know what’s going on with this money!) and then a $29 exit charge. That’s $1,076! Let’s see, cost to go to Florida Keys-0. It would be like getting free lodging going to the Keys and not have to deal with immigration, customs, etc. Think about it!

If you have enuf payola, you can get “approval”. Not sure it is legit!

Kovats is out to destroy Treasure Cay next. He may have made a lot of money somewhere but his track record is not great and he is generally not wanted by locals. But, if you have the money you can get anything done in the Bahamas!

This could be another white elephant just like Our Lucaya on GB. 4 years of legal wrangling, nothing happening and the poor people of Abaco will get to do the suffering. Looking at Kovats history this is a bad deal. Make whoever buys it put up a $5 million bond for development. That will get rid of the shadows. Time is of the essence. This new government seems to be taking care of business. This Our Lucaya was a disaster-don’t destroy North Abaco. This will be a good opportunity for the new government to shine.

You would think the government would provide drinkable water, reliable electricity and sewage where it existed before. Ok, forget the personal home rebuilds. But, in Treasure Cay there are 350 residences that formerly had sewage and now don’t. Furthermore, those poor, storm dazed people even ponied up over $600,000 to fix the sewer. But, do you think WSC and the government can take 10 minutes to say go ahead? The answer is NO!! What kind of a government is this. Think of all the income lost to the locals because 700 or 800 people can’t come to Treasure Cay because they can’t flush their toilet. It is a shame!

BPL is a joke. This is the 21st century! This isn’t brain surgery. We are using the same technology that has been around for 100 years! Planes don’t drop out of the sky because the engines stop working! Somebody in the government needs to step up and get the infrastructure in place!
