Out of pass experience more than once, while being among then on the water, hearing tourist make the statement of take one for a one way ride or let leave my wife / husband behind, while proclaiming love to the person ,and when you make then aware that you heard it then say it was a joke . When hearing of death it send questions to one's mind .
Two people are dead and you posted about insurance money.
You are a sick minded person.
Condolences to all concerned and please forgive the retarded remarks by “asura”

Some future day signs at the various BVI ports of entry will carry the warning "Visit at your own risk" if the BVI's infrastructure continues to crumble.
