A related matter. The following was received by BU.

GERMAN COUPLE WORKING at Side Surf Bar and Restaurant
Rockley (South East end of ACCRA Beach .

–  How is it that German man can come in Barbados lease a bar and

restaurant and walk about like he owns Accra beach , harassing a guy

that has been going to Accra from the age of 10- years old and a

Barbados national  !!!

   People call him to rent his Kayaks ! Now NCC are also harassing him

   cause German want that area to do water sports as well !! Calling

   Jet-Ski (illegally for guests) Kayak Man has Video evidence of this

   )Accra is not zoned for motorized water sports .One this man is parkd

   with his kayaks 100 ft from high water mark It is legal  and could

   even put up his sign .

   Some Immigration inspectors need to look at this before things get out

   of hand , this German man is payoing off and cozing up to NCC and

   Accra life Guards , who are also ganging up on this Kayak Jack , who

   has applied for a NCC license . His brother has Video Evidence of NCC

   Harassment from 2007 and  has played it for Thompson at NCC head

   Quarters and Thompson offered him a NCC license Immediately .

         Let Foreigners know that Barbados is for Barbadians first , I
         wonder if this guy was black if the German man  and his buddies

         could do this .

  As far as I know The law says 100 feet from High water mark and beyond
  is Barbados and Not under the control of NCC ! Unless there is a hotel

  or Residence there .

  These people are in his face invading his space and coaxing him  and
  provoking him to do something that they can use against him !

  Do they not know that provocation s as a threat ! and can be meet with

  Self Defense !

  I expect this matter will be looked at before it ends up in The News

  Paper and The Underground Barbados site .

    Sincerely A Barbadian of 9 -12 generations history
    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We all go to the beaches around Barbados and we know that these wave runners do as they please. Even if we think Harry’s submission is a stretch it does not change what we know.

@Harry next time u out so far that u could be with the turtles it would be wise to use ah diving flag to avoid getting run over

equal rights and justice .is that a threat.?//????
i may take your advise in any case.thanks.

Jet-Skis been doing as they like bout Barbados for years and there have been many casualties !Most Tourist hate them and are bothered by them .
NCC Rangers are corrupt and Coast Guard as well I believe.
I have a Boat license and operate a Boat with a ‘H’ number but now International Transport is said to be saying that even if a boat has a ‘H’ number but cannot reach 30 mph speed , you DON’t need a boat license !
That is not what I remember on my Test and Regulations ! I have Skippered many speed boats and to reach 30mph in our waters is quite difficult in many con

Tourist DRUNK and driving Jet -skis STUPID ! A while back a woman and daughter hit the side of Tiami and nearly died cause they could not control the jet-ski !!

well i am so happy that a fellow bajan has noticed my plight.
thank you!
i suppose these foreigners do not realist although i an 52 years old.
i am a 4 Dan black belt trained in Canada.also a sword and weapons expert trained in Canada.my father was friendly and respected with most of the rich Barbadian before my father died.
pit bulls are small and thick but once they get you by the neck they don’t let go.

pertaining to the jet skies and speed boats– as i do my tours on kayaks
i am helpless against jet skies that pass close to my guest. they pass close and cause wakes that can nearly turn over a kayak when they could easily go a bit farther away.
and speed boats also do this to my tourist on kayaks.
KAYAKING is a Olympic sport and may be Barbados should get their Olympic committee in to this sport as we have plenty of water.
i have no other comments on the matter..
my answer is”is that a so ?”

thank you David.i do explain the buttering of the waves to the customers.
but would it take so much for these boats and jet skied to give me a bit more room?
may be i will dream on.
thank you.

Like everything else on the island we allow situations to get woefully out of hand and are then , either unable or too gutless to recover the situation, writing it off as part of the burgeoning ZR culture. The Minister of Transport in the last few months has levelled what I term penalties against the majority of law abiding motorists, yet he and the authorities have not seen it fit to address the ear splitting noises we have to suffer all hours of the day and into the early hours of the morning from motor cycles with the baffles of their silencers removed. We have over the years given priority on our roadways to the bicyclist,allowing them to do as they like on the highways with impunity ,now the motor cyclists are following suit, and we are now seeing scrambler type motorcycles , with a blanking plate fitted in place of the mandatory head lamp , speeding and overtaking on our roads at nights with no other lights on it.
The present PM ,when he was AG ,personally complained about the excessive smoke we all have to endure from back yard burning. The Minister of Health made a promise, months ago , that ” sooner, rather than later ” ,he was going to parliament to address the matter of backyard burning. We are still waiting.
So what’s new?

We are Bajans and we comes first,what the tourist need to do is follow rules and instructions,snorkel with a marker,stay in the swimming area…Some of the comments make me sick,go home and take care of your gun toting drug dealing gangsters and then come back to Barbados lets talk about jetskis.
