drafterdw Posted February 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2018 We are on the Equinox next week.....just wondering if those on it this week would care to post conditions after they call on this port tomorrow. We have several people in our group with health issues who should not get off ship if air quality has not improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drafterdw Posted February 12, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Thanks, I had done a Google search but found nothing that recent. Unfortunately I think we will have to skip this port since we have people with asthma, COPD & heart/respretory issues. Not worth taking a chance.

gerelmx Posted February 12, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2018 These fires already have time, sometimes these are provoked intentionally by the locals to have farmland. Especially if it is for sugarcane or corn. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the fires after the destruction left by the hurricanes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it is for sugarcane or corn. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the fires after the destruction left by the hurricanes We were on the Equinox last week. There were two landfill fires set on purpose by the government. We did a lovely sailboat excursion through the ship in St. Martin so we just saw the fires from a distance.
