Please relise that to do business on the water is much more costly than on land additionally were regulated both by state and USCG guidelines, which we just recently went through & passed more iimportantly. Dan and I strive to show you the best possible time on the water & have already put into place a couple relationships that will have local people, who want to work, also benefiting of this created revenue. Please remember that Puna is growing and we all know this, a couple years down the road what are we going to do when someone with big money, any of the big guys Roberts Hawaii, Jacks Tours, Fairwinds, decides to start running boat opps out of Pohoiki. It has just been a matter of time, I waited over 5 years to start the lava tour, why had to save enough money to get going, needed to obain proper licensing, needed to make sure Pele was going to contiue her part, and wanted to make sure that we could opperate around fishermens schedule to make the harbor as uncrowded as possible. With more people using the ramp nowadays is time to address the issues at hand.
