SAINT JAMES ISLANDS

## MARINE:

It seems to me that an unnecessary amount of boat traffic is taking place. Captains leave to transfer staff and vendors, shopping trips and who knows what. It does not seem that any scheduling is done.

I'd implement a log book on each vessel. Everyone going somewhere enters date, time, purpose of trip. After a month, enough date will be collected to make an assessment if the marine operations can be optimized better.

Little C is taking a beating from all the heavy materials it is used to carry. Especially lumber and cement blocks beats up the boat. When I was there, epoxy paint was spilled over seats and interior

With 2 islands, the staff will increase in size and material runs will increase as well, Little C can't handle that.

I know there have been talks about new boats for a while. The ideal fleet would look like this:

20+ seat catamaran for crew transport only. This boat leaves Red Hook in the morning, makes a stop at GSJ and then stays at LSJ until the end of the day. Then LSJ - GSJ - Red Hook

35 Foot Munson landing craft. Flat bottom and small enough to do a direct run the shortest distance between LSJ and GSJ with most smaller vehicles. Will also be the materials boat for both islands. Will handle a Ford 250 with a load.

Key image details:

*   Boat: 35-13 SPORT landing craft
*   Flat bottom design
*   Exterior: aluminum
*   Has a ramp for loading materials

PRD is Managers boat, security boat and vendor transport

Sport IS t lives on GSJ as boat for Chris and his crew needs

Nanna and Nautica JEE and guest transport

Barge Existing barge seems well suited for both islands

Manager on Island should be a trained captain as well to fill in where needed
