Once that's built, the pumpout will use it... That's better than I thought. I wonder what they do with the treated effluent? Deep well injection or outflowed into the ocean.... Oh, that reminds me of something. Just about every settlement has a de-sal plant using reverse osmosis. I wonder where the brine ends up? The point being once they start down this silly 'green' road where does it stop? Brine is even more deadly to sealife than freshly-bucketed human waste.

Once that's built, the pumpout will use it... That's better than I thought. I wonder what they do with the treated effluent? Deep well injection or outflowed into the ocean.... That's a good question. Perhaps I'll take that up with the minister of tourism office tomorrow. Oh, that reminds me of something. Just about every settlement has a de-sal plant using reverse osmosis. I wonder where the brine ends up? The point being once they start down this silly 'green' road where does it stop? Brine is even more deadly to sealife than freshly-bucketed human waste. Most of the islands' supply is well water, very hard, of course, due to the limestone. In Abaco, it's also got a very high sodium content. Exuma Markets has its own RO which it provides for free to the cruisers at the dinghy dock, and for their own use. I imagine ice plants and the like do as well, or run the well water through an RO. A fellow cruiser measured the Abaco water, and found it to have 600ppm, well under the potable standard of 1000. Running it through his RO system produced a count of 200, very close to distilled water! So, well water is fine in the Bahamas. I expect the brine remainder (recall the huge amounts of salt water processed to yield a gallon of pure water) isn't of any effect other than on concentrated small bodies of water, and with major plants' production of RO. As that would be a diminishing return for plants, I doubt they'd use such ponds for the source... It would serve George Town right if all the cruisers went elsewhere. They're very well aware. I just returned from the tree-lighting ceremony, and the MC mentioned "tourists" frequently, thanking them for being there, and noting, several times, that without us, they'd be in a world of hurt. Just before the end of the show (a very long, umpteen-acts event), I was called up on stage as being a "bold visitor" - having taken the initiative to walk backstage and tell the MC that the front of the stage had no lighting and if they wanted to be seen, they had to stay behind the line of the original square shape, which they did. He asked, and I told him, that this was my third time to GT, and loved it. The crowd broke into applause... The locals "get it" - whether the government will wake up quickly enough to prevent a "Bah, Humbug!" from the cruisers has yet to be seen. Yet, recall the brouhaha which developed, and the threatened boycott which was produced, when they went to the current boat fees. We're all still here. Maybe the daytrippers stayed home, but I expect that those were not the source of a lot of income locally, anyway... As to being a "bold" visitor, we make it a point to get involved wherever we go. I joined the choir on a moment's notice on Saturday for the town's ecumenical production Sunday night, and will go to the choir rehearsal tomorrow PM, having already sung in the choir in the morning service (without rehearsal, yet, as I can read, and hit the note I see). Other activities in other towns, too - and the locals very much appreciate it, as deduced from those who take the time to thank me in terms of their pleasure at my involvement in the community... I try to leave a clean wake, so to speak, and get a great deal more out of our cruising by integration into the local enviroment as much as possible... Max in good times has been over 500. Last and prior years were high 2 and low 300s, respectively. However, that concentration is very brief. After Regatta, folks start leaving, and after the Family Island Regatta, it's nearly empty. In June, you're likely to be the only boat in sight. When we arrived (where this thread started) there were less than 30 boats in the entire area. It's up to about 50 now, but the crowds will begin after Christmas. Too many folks. I'll remember to avoid the place unless in the off-season. Marsh Harbor sounds like a better option for a cruising base to me. We found it wonderful. Dozens of diving locations in a day-sail away, many interesting places to visit, likewise, and hurricane holes that even our 7' draft could get into. That's where we'll be this coming hurricane season before we finally get to go south. We had no problems with bugs or heat, only using a fan a few nights. We like it a lot... On which subject, it was because of one of the same who stormed the immigration office here, demanding (rather than politely working with them) something WRT visa extension. That got the official person there angry enough that she dug out the regs (vs the generally accommodating nature of handling visa stuff). Turns out that the regs call for no more than a 90 day stay without someone leaving the country. [Practice had been to give sailboats 180 days, with up to another couple of months (no more than 8, we discovered to our horror) by stopping into an immigration office being routine.

The cruising permit is for 180 days with an option to renew for another 180 days before having to leave the country for ONE DAY before returning. The 90 day stay limit is for other tourists who did not arrive on boats with a valid cruising permit. Close, but no cigar. Cruising permit has 6 months printed but is crossed out without asking, and 12 written over it, both on my 2originals and the recent renewal of the second. There is a "free" in/out if you do it within 90 days. The VISA is the issue. Boat permits are still a year, but visas are very short, now, just in the last few weeks, perhaps days. ALL the recent arrivals tell the same story, regardless of which port they cleared in at. As a result of that brouhaha, word got back to Nassau, and, at the moment, arriving criusers and deplaners are given no more than 30 days, ditto on renewal, and will be required to leave in 90 to remain in compliance. Correct for those arriving on airplanes. Incorrect for those arriving on boats with valid cruising permit. See above. You used to be granted as much as 90 days on the plane. Not now. You used to be granted (up to) 180 days on a sailboat checkin. Not now. General guessing on that is that it won't last, as that will drive all the cruisers off (for the entire Bahamas, not just GT), by default, and sooner or later, the officials will come to the conclusion that it's a bad decision. But, the way things work here, it won't be a quick change, so it may not happen in time for all the many folks here and arriving, as many stay (ordinarily) for well beyond 90 days even if they're "commuters" - let alone full-timers who are spending an extended time in the Bahamas, such as we. It won't last because it's in incorrect interpretation of Bahamas customs and immigration law. Actually, unless you can provide the cite, I'd bet it's the PROPER interpretation, but everyone in Immigration was previously advised to ignore it within expanded parameters. It will probably take an act of Parliament to rectify what some asshole Canuck caused, here in this very location. How long that takes will remain to be seen. In the meantime, every single recent arrival is wondering how they'll deal with it, very soon... (clippage) We're thankful that the high will be in the 70s today, but sad that the wind won't be there to twirl our KISS! Kiss is the most noisy and shoddily-built of all the wind generators - shame on you. When it wears out in the very near future consider getting two of these. Nice try. It's all in the balancing. Ours makes the softest whiiisssshhhh other than in a gale. As to their wearing out, not only don't they do that, but if it did, it would be a bearing or a seal, both a NAPA or other parts store standard part. If the electronics break down, same deal. No brushes, only one moving part (if you disregard bearings)... http://www.marlec.co.uk/products/win...3-windcharger/ They are very kind to your neighbors. It's freezing cold here in the Keys, too. Been in the forties the last two nights but it's supposed to warm up 10-20 degrees in the next couple days but another cold front on the way Sunday or Monday. The water's already down around fifty degrees. I have nothing against the rutland, as I don't own one and our practice is not to be near anyone else, anyway, so if one were noisy, I'd not hear it. By the time ours gets noisy enough to hear more than 10 feet away, it's so noisy from the wind you'd not hear it or any other wind gen, either. OTOH, if I were going to do something different, likely it would be the D400, a 500 watt unit vs the Rutland's only 250 watts - and that requires 38 knots!! Both (or neither, depending on how you look at it) aren't suited to owner repair, however, one of the reasons I chose the KISS. Likewise vis-a-vis rutland, ours will do the trickle charge bit at 5 knots, but in 10 knots we're seeing about 7 amps, and at 19, about 20. At 25 knots, we're seeing 25-30A, it's sweet spot... As to the Rutland itself, you should have read the article they trumpeted. "Low Power" was the class they dominated, with their "Mid Power" one generating half or less than higher performing units. Note also that noise wasn't tested, and KISS wasn't, either. Go see Practical Sailor's reports for more definition on noisy and power output (http://www.naviclub.ca/Test_comparat...es_marine.pdf). Quiet, yes, but probably because it can't make any power. From that article: "The Rutland 913 finsished next to last on every day except when the wind was light on Day 3, when it was last by a half amp to Superwind." Sorry to upset your applecart :{)) Water here's still in the mid-70s, fine for swimming, but I'll sorely miss my wetsuit when I clean the bottom again. That's the one gripe I have about Marsh Harbour - horrible growth. Here in GT, once I've got it clean, it will stay that way. Our prior visits have had no growth in months at a time...
