    My first thought was the high speed ferries between Isla Mujeres and Cancun, which are pretty cool by the way. They have a musician playing some music and the water is absolutely gorgeous. However, it is a 20 minute ride and the water is relatively smooth. Curious how long this ride would take? Maybe the drinks included will drum up some business.

    Still content with my driver and the joy he brings when I see his smiling face and get filled in Whaagwaan.

    40 knots is the speed they said in The Observer article. I do not know how fast that is. Supposedly will go between Mo Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios and than adding Kingston and several more ports. Capacity 300.

    It's about 45 mph, but somewhat dependent on current and tides.

    My preliminary thoughts are:

    1. The only vessel actually shown is not the same as the renderings in the promo videos. Therefore, this boat nor it draft drawings don't exist as yet. So who knows where it can get to?
    2. To take best advantage of the cruise trade the best hub would be Falmouth, Ships only arrive threes day a week in MoBay and are smaller than the ships at Falmouth.
    3. The ops cost of whatever the final design is will curl you hair.
