Yeah!!!

cruisers.jpg Well, here is some welcome news! smily

Seems that the powers that be here in the Cayman Islands are planning to put in place a cap on the number of cruise ship passengers which will be allowed to visit Cayman on a daily basis. The number will be capped at 9,200. I think this is a grand idea which strikes the balance between those who will be screaming that we need all the tourist dollars we can get and those who complain that we can’t go about our business at all when we have six or seven ships in the harbour.

It can get really congested at times. The picture over on the left does give an impression of the crowd which decends upon the waterfront, but its not really accurate, IMHO. When we have in seven ships, there are a lot more people milling about and snarling traffic than that! I think that this is a great thing and I commend the authorities for this.

Hey, I recently posted a picture of a boat that some Cuban refugees sailed over to Grand Cayman on. At the time I was commenting that I wouldn’t sail around the harbour in George Town in it. Well, seems my instincts were right! See, the boat has sunk and is now causing an environmental problem, as it is leaking fuel and its batteries are leaking.

I hope the authorities do something about it soon. I wonder what they will do with it though. I think they should raise the boat somehow, bring it ashore and break it up, then send the pieces to the dump or burn it (I think its a wooden structure. That may be easier said than done though… smily

Yesterday, I was showing a bredrin at work the Matisyahu video I posted below and I commented to him that reggae music is really easy to copy. Hell, imagine, a hasidic jew from Brooklyn just ups and put out such a good song. The man sounds like he comes straight from Yard! It brought back memories too of the German brother, Gentleman, who has had a few really nice reggae songs burning up the airwaves.

Still, at the time I mentioned this to my bredrin, I never thought I would be reading this morning that Paris Hylton will be putting out a reggae / hiphop album! smily

Wow! I hope she can really sing. So far, it seems to me that Paris is really just famous for being famous, you know. Maybe this will be her opportunity to be famnous for something worthwhile. Still, if she can really sing and she makes it big in that sphere, can you imagine what her concerts will be like? She’ll probably outdo Madonna, don’t you think? I think I’d go to see her! smily
