Charlie,
I absolutely agree about the situation they had with Irma and Maria.
After a disaster the attitude in general is appreciation of the people who helped them in their time of need.
Personally i was involved donating water and having it shipped on local boats from Fajardo PR (Marina Puerta Del Rey) used for watersports and tourism.
Being in the Caribbean for a long time like yourself I also know that millions of $$$$$$$$ have been donated by visitors to the BVI to help relieve the disaster of the Hurricanes.
The thing that bugs me is that the UK projects them and the money sent by the chartere was put into their pockets
