I think the point is- If we just pay the $300 fee, what next? $400,
600? Where will it end? If the Bahamas can get away with it, maybe
other countries will try it too?

I don't understand why marinas, suppliers, and now countries think
that boaters have UNLIMITED deep pockets. There are probably some,
but it certainly isn't me.

I would never consider going to Bahamas with this BS fee. I would
find another place to go.

Send them a message. Vote with your pocketbook.

Steve - what boycott are you talking about? The "I'm too cheap to pay $300"
boycott?

There are a lot of non-mega boats over here. Can't say that any of my
favorite anchorages are that much thinner in population. I was hoping that
the $300 would keep out a few more.

I guess, what I'm saying is, find an alternative until they come to their
senses. I doubt that it would take more than one season to get their
attention..

I'm sure there will still be some Mega Boat with Mega Buck owners who
would
still 'cross the boycott line' and that hurts. They probably welcome our
boycott since that means few boats in the anchorages and butts in the
bars.

Me? I'm on the west coast and haven't been to the Bahamas since 1971.
