yes, I am seriuos....
There is going to be a ton of boats out on that island.....there always is, every memorial day, 4th of July, and Labor Day.
but someone, somewhere made a phone call to the right people, and brought the heat on us.
We were called by the boat company today......and were told by a lady, that they were calling to confirm sundays boat rental. She told us, that were going to be providing soda, and water to our passengers at no extra price.
She called back 20 mintes later saying she was sorry, she had to tell us she coulndt rent the boat to us. She said she received a call from the same guy, from the DEP, thats been emailing us all week asking questions. They threatened them with a $10,000 fine for damaging the seagrass. She told us sorry, and they were going to have to refund your money.
This same DEP guy has been emailing all week, asking questions....trying to act like he was wanting to see if there were any permits that we were going to need.
Once he found out the party, was on a private island, not owned by the state, they started asking questions about the boat.
They obviuosly did their research, becuase somehow they found out what company we were using as a water taxi, and made a call today, and that was that.
Yesterday, we received a letter warning us of a $10,000 fine for damaging the seagrass.
The email conversations, and the questions they were asking.... it was clear they where deteremined to find a way to shut down anything "adult" happening on a private island...... by scaring our tour operator with a "seagrass" violation.
