You have to supply your own infrastructure on the small islands and it
is not inexpensive: Generators, fuel storage, water desalination
equipment, satellite internet, dock, and frequently a small air strip.
There are a few people making a living with some guest cottages and a
bar/restaurant. Others run charter fishing trips, dive boat
operations, golf cart rentals, etc.
So on the smaller islands, it's not *natives" per se, but people going
there and building a business idea? Very interesting to me! Do the
bigger islands that have *native* people have springs, wells, or where
does the water come from?
