It certainly is encouraging to see all the visual improvements that are being made throughout Road Town. But again, the problem of the open ghuts running through town and the terrible stench that arises from them is a serious problem. Over the last few months, thousands of visitors have been exposed to this stink. I've seen many of these folks look around, trying to see where such an awful odor is coming from. On days when there is not much of a breeze, this sewer smell pervades throughout Road Town.
First impressions mean a lot.
Gregory Gunter People learn nothing from stupid dolphin tricks Dear Chief Minister Ralph O'Neal, I am a wildlife and underwater photographer. These programmes benefit only the owners' bank accounts. Please reconsider the permits granted, and save a few dolphins a short and unhappy life in captivity. I have sailed and dived in the BVI waters on many occasions. I have always had a very favourable impression of the BVI's conservation efforts as demonstrated by the healthy reefs and low-key development style I have found to be the hallmark of the BVI experience.
