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.

We aren't going this year but it isn't even mostly about the $300. My
SIL isn't going either and he has only a 26.5 foot boat and he can
certainly afford $150. The main reason we are not going is the
homeland security regulations when we come back. That's even stupider
than the Bahamas increase in fees. I like the Bahamas, but not enough
to jump through all those hoops.

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.
