A water desalination system currently exists in Crawl cay. Baboon Cay has a well and Water cay also has a natural water hole. Diesel can be purchased from Pearl Lagoon or one can arrange with any of the professional fishing boats, that pass through the cays, for delivery. Some other options are gas generators, solar power or wind generators. We have a diesel generator at Crawl cay and Baboon cay.
Salaries are also very low.
For electrical and electronic equipment it is cheaper to import them from Miami. There are two marine cargo shipping companies that ship directly from Miami to Bluefields. These go to Bluefields about 1-2 times a week. One can arrange any kind of daily deliveries of fruits, vegetables or other items with the speed boats drivers or any other way. Lobster, shrimp and seafood is abundant fresh and inexpensive in both Bluefields and the surrounding areas.
