The resolution to these and many other issues such as this that affects the sailing community has a very simple but for some strange reason impossible conclusion. STOP GOING TO THESE PLACES! Why this is so difficult for boaters to comprehend is beyond my understanding. Once the parties realize what contribution the cruisers make to the economy and those businesses most affected start to apply pressure all this will go away. But woe is me, I have to continue to feed the bureaucrats and their ridiculous regulations and there is nothing to do. What sense does this attitude make. Avoid those islands and countries till they achieve some resemblance of common sense, period. Maybe it is too much exposure to sunlight or salt air that tricks the brain into just accepting the inevitable instead of really taking a stand and saying to those powers that I am mad as hell and not going to take it any more. I really grieve for our society today.
