I see in todays issue of FaxInfo that someone took a bulldozer to the path between Friar's Bay and Happy Bay. There is a picture of the partial road included. It seems they were stoped before they made it all the way but if this is opened up, a quiet place will be lost.

A grand panic was created over on TTOL due to the abscence of Neil Rooney's posts (Bucaneer Beach Bar). Almost a conspiracy theory thing going on. I guess Neil's pup has a penchant for cable and has kept him offline for a while. Once the pic of the week started showing up in everyone's inbox all was good.
