Carry passengers for hire requires special considerations and equipment . Anyone can call them self a surveyor there is no licensing only memberships to organisations. A boat built in the US of that type with all the necessary safety precautions would cost upwards of 500k Any ideas why he chose to build himself? I see the local transport minister wants to up the cost of Americans bring their boats. Why doesn’t he concentrate on putting effort into making sure charter boats are safe instead of protecting the homies.
Black smoke equals burning fuel. Boat safety lesson no.1. The bahamaspress said he was in jail in Cuba for drugs. They also said he was uninsured wonder who is telling the truth. Petrol fueled boats explode because vaporised fuel spark from bilge pump bilge fans and lack of sniffer system. Is said builder a marine architect? Did said boat have CE? https://www.nmma.org/certification/ce-c…. ifnot why not? What certifications did it Have? I have never read such legalese gobblygook in my entire life.
I have personally seen this happen. The cost of a marine fitting is double and sometimes triple The cost of a similar fitting used in the automobile industry. Lack of funds and lack of knowledge determine which one is used. Couple this withe explosive nature of petrol and you have an accident waiting to happen. I can’t tell you the number of boat owners over the years that I have educated about this. Couple this with a homemade non certified boat and you might have a recipe for disaster.
Excellent observation I missed the no fire extinquishers anywhere. I should of noticed that being in the marine industry for over30 years. I personally wouldn’t want to expedite refer or book any excursion given the liability and huge lack of oversight anywhere. This will be a field day for the legal profession unfortunately and maybe it will be a game changer. Hopefully otherwise this type of folly will continue
which means Butch might have to engage council if guests were staying at sandals and were referred by same to the "tour".
which also means that is govt is quick to collect 4k from americans who want to charter in the bahamas but looks the other way on safety issues for the local population of workers? you decide.
boat engines dont catch fire and explode. at any given time there is nore more than 4oz of fuel in the engine block itself whilst running. this was is a fuel fire from stored, leaking fuel tanks or bad connections and its doubtful this boat had a sniffer system in place.
Think you have been "fooked" pussycats. Wonder if the fire hoses still as previously reported explode? Hmmm Wonder if there will be enough electric to power the place without rolling blackouts? I know trivial stuff. Will trump open up Cuba even more so? What will happen with Izzie ? So many questions so little time Better learn mandarin and quickly . General tsaos conch?
I cant imagine her being turned down for visa. . the place is full of south americans who simply dont go home and stay. how many undocumented aliens??? Brickell avenue is the new Caracas. it appears from the website if you have 160.00 and are living and breathing and not a wanted criminal you are welcome on a B2 visa and be from most anyplace. . something appears amiss and I certainly dont want to cast doubt and wish you success in finding your friend.
