So we can sail to get our booze when the oil runs out

Tourism is a panacea, that does not produce a sustainable "Value added " economy. This is an example of the "Service" economy we in the west have become. It is a type of shuffle game where one party gives something of perceived high value, to gain even more short term High value. Society is left holding the bag. I wonder if there is provision in the plan for dredging the silt and wildlife bird poop up in a few years. Oh well its not in my back yard. I go further North where the Loons cry rings clear at 4:45 am and the fish jump out of the lake into your boat. OK ENOUGH Ranting for now.
