Veteran’s Day Tribute
To the servicemen
who paid with their life
to ensure our freedom again
and to live without strife.

In order to accommodate the changing times, our schedule has been abbreviated. Thus, we thought it prudent to send a schedule reminder. Both vessels operate weekdays but on the weekends only one vessel runs. This can change at any time so follow us on social media for  day to day changes. Thanks for your patronage.

The Caribbean Sea Turtle: Leave them Alone

9/10/2020

Comments

 
Picture
Sea turtles are majestic creatures that sometimes live for centuries. Despite their longevity, the Caribbean sea turtle population has suffered greatly. Their size has decreased 99% and are in danger of being completely eradicated from the area.

The next generation should not have to learn what these  creatures  looked like just from pictures. We all want to leave a world for them where they may be able to  experience going to the beach at night during nesting season, and observing the baby turtles scramble to the sea after being hatched.
​
Here is how you can help according to nps.gov:
  • Become a Sea Turtle Beach Patrol Volunteer.
  • Never touch or chase them! By touching, chasing or riding them, visitors disturb their eating, resting and even nesting habits.
  • Don't litter. Remember some turtles mistake balloons, and plastic for food.
  • Don't leave deep ruts, holes or tracks in the beach. The baby sea turtles get stuck in them when they hatch attempt to reach the sea.
  • Prevent light from shinning on beaches.
  • Do not drive on beaches. You risk crushing eggs.
  • Never disturb feeding or nesting turtles.
  • Never buy or sell sea turtle products.
Did You Know?... 
  1. Trunk Bay, in St. John, VI, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, got it's name from the Leatherback turtle because according to local lore, "the backs of the leatherbacks  look like  a steamer trunk floating";
  2. Our most common turtles are the green, the hawksbill, and the leatherback;
  3. An adult hawksbill can weigh up to 1,200 pounds;
  4. Males never leave the ocean; only the females come ashore for nesting;
  5. They travel long distances for foraging and nesting; some have been known to travel more than 1,200 miles.

Wishing everyone a happy Emancipation Day and a wonderful Independence Day. July 3rd honors the emancipation of enslaved people in the then Danish West Indies in 1848. While, July 4th celebrates the Independence of our nation in 1776. Two great freedoms, that of a people and that of a nation. For that we should give thanks. Our corporate offices will be closed on both days. But our vessels are operational. Below is our holiday schedule. Thanks for your patronage and see you on board.
