I saw (and photographed) the magnificent yacht ‘ICE’ in January 2006 off of the Pitons in St Lucia. I have often wondered who owns her?

One man who had no drugs in his case had it vacuumed in case there was any drug dust in there. Fat chance of selling that. A whole ship searched and sprayed because they found a spider. Passengers shoes inspected for soil. Passengers fined because they had an applle given to them on the plane.I have never heard of apples killing anyone or even spreading diseases.I even watched a luxury yacht emptied of thousands of dollars worth of food which (I presume was destroyed) Food for the crew or food for the customs officers.If all thats not going over the top then I give up. Thats one country I will never visit.
