Jet skis soon come

[Accompong]

Acc,

The "Devil" in this case may be that the details that the Task Force has defined were not stated in exact distances in the article quoted. The journalist could have gone into the Task Force guidelines and found out how they defined "close proximity" and "customarily swim" but apparently chose not to do so, feeling their comments were adequate for the readers.

However, they seem to agree that the "public bathing beaches including in Negril, Montego Bay and Hellshire Beach, where PWC operations will be prohibited." That is a pretty firm detail they outline in their regulations.

Thanks Rob,

That is why I put it out there. I thought there was a lot "more to the story" and I figured someone (especially YOU ) would set the matter straight.

You know, a lot of people just think of Negril as all there is in Jamaica and don't go past the town limits. I think that Chukka Cove has horseback riding and it is not in Negril. It is not necessary to mix swimmers and sunbathers with horses any more than PWC should be allowed. Jamaica is roughly the area and shape of Connecticut so there is a lot of area where concessions for renting can be established for these purposes and that will give people a good reason to get out and explore a little of the island at the same time.

Thanks again.

Good points, and if this is how it will be handled I think the authorities have made a good compromise. The article linked a day or two ago was not at all clear on these details.

on Friday when mi was doing mi last leg of snorkeling into Pee Wees.....
mi heard this unfamiliar noise......it was a jet ski......couldn't believe it.....ugh
mi was told the driver was licensed and thus the jet ski off the Cliffs.....
mi always worried about getting hit by one of dem jet skis.....or boats......
but the boats move slowly and thus usually not a danger to mi.....

pollution pumps.

Actually, they pollute very little if any. The glass bottom boats and fishing boats pollute more. We are going to have some form of pollution until the end of time. Life is short, get up, get out, and enjoy!!

much like sidestream cigarette smoke, which poses no danger to others beyond a distance of a couple of feet, the noxious smell of the jet skis isn't actually harmful to one's health unless one is very close to them. but that doesn't make it significantly less annoying.

April was so peaceful without them. Oh how I was looking forward to the the quiet in August...was hoping to sneak one more trip in before the PWC's returned.

I was hoping for the same thing my next reach...they probably be 10times aggressive to make up for lost time...kmt!

We also enjoyed our visit without them. I was bummed the first day and found out but that quickly changed with the quieter beach. If someone wants to make money let me suggest selling cold bottled water and a coffee bar on the beach.
Tree house? How about it? Coffee bar at the bar 6:00am - 9:00am

That's not true at all. If more people had your attitude, then "life" would be short indeed.

TAH, agree with you that Jet skis have no place near the populated beaches. I would however suggest that they are not the polluters that everyone thinks. The amount of oil it takes to produce the electricity that powers Negrils air conditioners should be more of a concern than an immense fleet of Jet skis. Jaherring, quit trolling. You'll get your ride one way or another.
