springheeled jack Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 by the look of them they dont appear to be unduly worried in fact they seem to be enjoying the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Robert Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Can hardly believe they enjoy after watching a boat turning over in the waves. 1 Tourist drowned and 3 wounded. Not the best scene at your holiday paradise. At least a good call to stop them from leaving the island and provide food an shelter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
