Havent yet seen the specific details of what flying matey actually did...can someone fill that gap.
Within 1 mile ? Low? Over the cay ??
One aircraft flyby or whatever... ONE boat of tourists a day.
Obviously there's a sensitive ornothological difference.?? What ??
Protection of these places was/is needed. In the days of yore boaties used to go out an fishing trips and bring 'Fido' along for the days fun. Once ashore you can imagine the mayhem.!!
I do have a fond memory from long, long ago of a showery moonlit night, having to sleep on the beach at Upolu Cay?. Damp, dry, Wet, dry, crabs checking the head over for dandruff or whatever. And the noise !!.. birds came and went or flew circuits all night, calling to chicks ,mates or just sky yakking.. Certainly a 'lovely' night !!... cloudy with great swirls of birds, moonlit shadowy clouds and curtains of light rain.
Notable.
