 I remember when we came in, we had two major international hotels in San Antoine and the Villa. Now in San Antoine, I had about Mrs. French, you remember? She was more active in Red Cross than in four or six rooms. Then the big, next big hotel was the Villa. And the Villa was classic. There's one guest who stayed there told me, this is the only hotel where you have salmon for breakfast, salmon for lunch and salmon for dinner, because the manager of the hotel was Ms. Salmon and she was like the custodian of a school for weird girls. I remember going there with a friend, he had come in from one of the boats and I had to take him to dinner. So I went there and I didn't have a jacket and tie. And she told me she couldn't serve me dinner there, because I was not properly acquired, I'm tired. But if I sit just over there, she can give me something to eat. So that was, then we, in the, I think it was 1960, when the Americans handed over the radio zone, it was a part of an American base, handed it over. And it's, perhaps the beach was as beautiful now as it was then, but that time it was a beautiful beach. I mean, we used to, castries was, you know, the city and it was country. So when you had to go in a big, big picnic and big excursion or whatever it is, you went up to really beach. Well we, the land that was handed back to us, what could we do with it? We got the British government through the Commonwealth Development Corporation to build the Senusia Beach. They built, they were then trying to help us to develop, get into tourism, not on us. They built the Grenada Beach, the Senusia Beach, and one in Antigua, and one in Belize. It was a chain of hotels built by the CDC. Now we had had an agreement, we released it to a Jamaican entrepreneur. He was a big, big name in the hotel in Jamaica, ISSA. And as one of the conditions that he had the lease of that property was that he should expand to I think on the whole beach, 600 rooms. Try as we could, we could not get any takers because when people came into the Senusia Beach, you know, allow them had to leave by ambulance from mosquito bites. You know, it was, you had to be fogging the area, you know. The fogger had to go round and round in the evening to fog the place with mosquitoes. The people in Grosile now, the big industry in Grosile for children after school. You came from school, you changed your, you're from your school clothes, and you go in the pasture to pick up, pick up cow down, to, you pick up cow down to burn in your yard to chase the mosquitoes and the sand flies. And now you, as you sit here, if in those days you look Grosile, you see a whole haze of smoke, it is the burning of the cow down to keep away the mosquitoes. So we could not get this place, we could not get tourist development in this area, difficult. We tried, tried as, as we may, we could not get rid of the sand flies. So we called in the company from Jamaica, the Matamols who had experience in this thing. And they said, well, you can't fill the swamp, because it was, it would take, you cut down the pitons and dump it there, you can't fill it. I mean, so, so, so deep. So what you have to do is to fill it, fill it with water, with sea water. So dig out the lagoon, but when you went down and taking off the muck, below that was sand and coral. So you had to dig it out. Where do you put it? Do you throw it away? Because it was hundreds of thousands of tons of sand in the bottom over this. I think the swamp itself, the muck was probably four or five feet. But below that, because it just planted the old, the old geology that was, it was part of the seabed. So we found coral and sand. What do you, what do you put it? So we look at it. Let's join the Pigeon Island to the mainland. Because some ladies told us in the old days when she was come from church, she used to actually walk on low tide, walk from grocery to Pigeon Island. And during the low tide, so we decided for two reasons. One, we had to put there the coral and the sand somewhere. And two, we had to create land to pay for the dredging. So we decided to create, I think about 70 acres of land that joined Pigeon Island to the mainland. And once that was done, the sand flies disappeared. But it remained there. This area remained as it was from 1974, nearly 10 years, until the marina came. And when the marina came, the place blew. So now, having got rid of the sand flies, you have tourist development here. But you have another problem. You have a problem of transportation, air transportation. When we try to get into the tourist development, we got the Canadians to help us to expand the, what is now, Q'unora, then Beenefield, to expand the airport to accommodate the jets. Okay, the Canadians came, they helped us. We built that airport to accommodate the jets. But Q'unora is the one end of the island. The castries, the administrative capital, is at the other end of the island. And your tourism area is even further up. So what do you do? How do you get it? So we improve the east coast road, improve the connection before to go to Via Fort. I mean, like if you, it was two days, one day to go. Yes, you leave in the morning, one day to go, and one day to come back. Come back in the morning, come back next day. So two days you had to. So how do you get the junction? So we connected the east coast road. We built the east coast road. You know, I must sometimes look, I have to look back a bit. I remember when we were doing the east coast road. The same problem I had in building the castries, because they rode the resistance. Some little ladies house was there and don't move. Just like in the Conway, don't move. When we were doing it, I realized that you, to push a highway through these villages, you're going to get into trouble. You're going to kill people. So I told the consultant, look, we have to bypass every one of these major settlements. So we back put the denry bypass to bypass denry. Imagine the containers going through denry village. We bypass Miku. We bypass Via Fort. We bypass the library. Every one of these villages were bypassed with a highway. I remember, you know, if you look back, you must laugh at the nonsense. I remember hearing myself say that I don't want these, the tourists to pass through these villages because they're so poor. You know, I don't want the tourists to see these denry and Miku and so because I'm ashamed, you know. But you did it. G-I-S, serving you better. G-I-S.
