Hi David,

You might want to specify that this is St Thomas, Jamaica, and not the BVI. I myself was misled by the headline.

Sorry, that should be St Thomas in the USVI!

Sorry for this third correction–the post DOES refer to St Thomas in Jamaica. In the second comment I was simply correcting myself for saying that the headline implied it referred to the BVI. Have I confused everybody sufficiently?

Not at all – I was the one who was obviously confused and responsible for confusing everyone. I think some Jamaican geography lessons are in store for me. Thanks so much Georgia.
