With the $1M donated by the Aga Khan for Mr. Carey to look the other way while illegal dredging took place under his watch, Mr. Carey can afford to be pompous toward the "smoochers". http://www.bahamasnational.com/?q=node/…

I wonder if someone at the Tribune would reach out to the Ministry of Tourism to comment? I am sure they could get a response more quickly than the rest of us.

To all boaters:Firstly, Eric is not an Ambassador to the Bahamas, nor does he speak for all Bahamians. Secondly, Mr. Carey is well known for putting his foot in his mouth. His dictatorship-like attitude does not bode well for the Trust. This man has shown himself to be an arrogant individual who likes to assert himself as being in charge of everything. Trust me. I am a Bahamian who follows events that have been attended by Eric. I can safely say that all boaters should take whatever he says as a grain of salt. Carey needs to realize that he is not speaking to one of his employees who he tend to look down on. He is speaking to guests of our country. With that said, there is nothing wrong with discussing pertinent issues that about national parks, under BNT watch. It is how one presents this discussion across to stakeholders that matters!

Good for the BNT for stepping up. I wonder how long it will take for the Trust to ask Carey to step down? It would appear Bahamians and visitors alike are tired of his pompous attitude.

I trust that Mr. Carey will be removed from any position that involves him with your tourism sector, since his views on boaters and boating are now quite evident.

It seems like a very easy argument to dispute. All that is required is a simple contact to the "Exumas Market", or maybe "Isle General" in Staniel to verify that the cruisers spend a lot of money on groceries and supplies. Just walk into Exuma Mkt during the "season" and then go there off season!!!!!!!!!!! I am amazed at the attitude of Mr. Carey, but what mainly bothers me is that he is quoting facts that are absolutely wrong!!!!!!! His statements just galvanize the good efforts that the LARGE majority of cruisers do for the country, that will stop when they quit visiting. He seems to think that they will come no matter the price, as a visiting cruiser I can confirm they will stop visiting. If his intentions are to stop the cruisers from coming to your wonderful Islands he is doing a very good job!!!!!!!!!!!!
