How I plan to get to St Maarten.

Hi Tom,
I am working with the government of St Maarten to take Kimberlite out of the island. I will fly into St Thomas and enter St Maarten either via private plane of chartered motor boat. I would then sail over to St Thomas to fuel up , provision , and sail back to NY.
I might have to single hand to NY. It looks like the government might have a plan for a number of people to arrive via private conveyance and sail away.
Is there anyone else in the group trying to get to St Maarten? If so we could share the cost of the trip from St Thomas to St Maarten. Fair Winds Eric Amel Super Maramu #376

She is at Club Nautico in San Juan. I will be flying down as soon as I can be sure that I won’t have to spend 2 weeks in quarantine at the airport hotel. Even though there’s more square feet in most hotel rooms than on a Super Maramu, I think I would go certifiably nuts in a hotel. On Apr 20, 2020, at 8:04 PM, eric freedman <kimberlite@...> wrote:

Hi Eric,
No idea. Need to be on more intimate terms with the governor. I heard today from the dockmaster in the marina where Aletes is that a captain of a mega yacht flew in, told the authorities that he was going to quarantine on his boat. They told him no way, and he is now spending 14 days at the airport hotel. Not what he had planned. On Apr 19, 2020, at 8:50 PM, eric freedman <kimberlite@...> wrote:

My only thought is like others, make certain that there is no chlorine. Obviously, there shouldn’t be if all you do is make RO water. Do you ever put water in the tank from the marina? We often have both RO and shore water, tough to tell how much chlorine, although you can buy test strips. I will sometimes flush with a couple of gallons of RO water drawn from the control panel tap, rather than flush with water from the tank.
Assuming the above is useless advice, you might try looking at https://www.genesysro.com/uploads/docs/STUDY%20OF%20THE-PHYSICAL-AND-CHEMICAL-DAMAGE-ON-REVERSE-OSMOSIS-MEMBRANES-DETECTED-BY-AUTOPSIES-NURIA.pdf
This details some of what can go wrong, including post-mortem pictures. Interestingly, there are several causes for physical damage to the membranes (as opposed to chemical) that might have some bearing on your issue.
