actually I'm not sure about this operation! It's a diaster in waiting. Why did you feel you need a 24 seater,because profits weren't being met with the smaller boat? In which area do you plan to dump all the human waste? Is this boat running on gasoline,or diesel? I'd feel a lot better if you ran your boat off of cooking oil instead of petro! I grew up in Lahaina Maui and watched as our sea life drop off as the harbor got busier over the years. As a kid I use to eat the tiny "Ama-Ama crabs" off the seawalls. I had to stop that by mid 70's as the harbor became to polluted to eat anything in it.
As kids we use jump in the harbor and retrive coins thrown in by tourist. That stopped over time too. As the harbor became more populated & polluted. Have you had the pleasure of jumping in a harbor lately ? You end up with this film of petro all over your body, it's no fun! But tell kids to stay out of it is nearly impossible!
As a lifetime surfer,and a lover of mother nature,and especially the ocean I really ,really saddened by this. As putting a life guard there, I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon either. The liability factor is just to great.
But if the choice came down to one or the other kids swimming there, or acess for your 24 seater.....my vote would go for the swimmers!
I'm sorry, without even seeing your boat I imagine it's an eye sore, and not eye candy for Puna! A 24 seater is way to big for this area. Puna doesn't need an ocean circus \just so you have more beer money!
