Happy Friday!

It's that time of the week again for Happy Friday!

I am happy today as we have a new addition to our family, The Louly III! She is named after our late dog Bristol Leenie Louly who used to love riding on our boats! We just happened to sell our boat the Louly II last week.  I was calling around in Florida for a replacement boat this week and a dealer told me about this boat and it was the boat I always dreamed of that was two slips over from us! The former owner is buying a new one same model and all from that dealer! This was Bristol in the works helping us out with our fate!

We are so psyched!

Too bad we can't use the mooring balls over on St John as the National Park is closed and that includes mooring balls! Speaking of which, there is a sit in on Sunday at Maho Bay at 1PM.

On this Friday, I am going to give you some of our ways with our locally elected and government workers. Although somewhat funny, some of these stories want to make me puke? Again you cannot make this shit up?

EDA's bad-loan list lacks names of senators

ST. THOMAS ­- After months of dodging its initial agreement to do so, the Economic Development Authority furnished an updated list of delinquent borrowers.

The list of 210 names sent Friday represents $6.4 million in delinquent loans made through the former Small Business Development Authority and the Government Development Bank since 1982.

However, the list still does not include many of the names or amounts referenced in an audit by the V.I. Inspector General's Office released in April that found Economic Development Authority's 2010 loan portfolio had a delinquency rate of 84.5 percent and that the Virgin Islands was owed about $8.5 million. The Economic Development Authority had lost millions of taxpayer dollars through negligent, insecure lending practices and through improper administration of its nine lending programs, the report stated.
