VROMI where are you?

Dear Editor,

It has been nearly a year since a 40+-foot sailboat washed ashore in Simpson Bay, one of our most treasured assets, and it remains broken and beached to this day.

After multiple letters (including one hand-delivered) to VROMI, with unanswered requests for action, this eyesore and more importantly environmental hazard remains stranded, half buried in the sand.

Fortunately, this past hurricane season only had passing storms, but if this wreck remains on the beach, we risk a hazardous, environmental fluid spill and possible damage to homeowners’ property. This ticking time bomb needs to be properly disposed of and well before the upcoming hurricane season, which might not be so forgiving.

The police know who owns the wreck and should hold them accountable for the cost of removal.

VROMI, where are you? Please address this situation now before it becomes an even bigger problem.

R. Paul Speece
