[00:04:12]But the quality of this is exceptionally good.

[00:04:21]There's no waves.

[00:04:24]Beautiful launch. Happy hunting. Enjoy the day.

[00:04:27]Guys, what did what happened to Brett?

[00:04:31]He's still fishing here at St. Lucia often.

[00:04:34]With him, Billy Brett.

[00:05:01]Excuse the pun.

[00:05:02]Um launching here at St. Lucia.

[00:05:09]Brett became famous when I was still a youngster here on St. Lucia beaches.

[00:05:16]Before there was rules and regulations.

[00:05:19]Anything that could float or had a transom, we tried and surf launched it.

[00:05:29]Not an easy launch today. Just no surf.

[00:05:32]Beautiful launch.

[00:05:36]Happy hunting. Enjoy the day. Fill those hatches with great great catches.

[00:05:41]Guys, just a point of reference. When you buy your launching tickets from Fisherman's, it's not a guarantee Wiseman is going to be out beyond the beach.

[00:05:51]Get Wiseman's number from uh whoever is at the on duty at Fisherman's.

[00:05:57]Fishing Fisherman's Tackle Shop, that's where you buy your launching ticket.

[00:06:01]That's for the tractor to push you. It's doesn't give you access to the beach.

[00:06:05]It's just to give you access to the tractor to push you, to pull you, and if you get stuck to help you out.

[00:06:12]When you buy a launching ticket, get Wiseman's number.

[00:06:17]Make sure that you WhatsApp Wiseman the evening before of the day of the launch, so that he knows that to be on the beach because another request, guys, please leave your vehicle keys with Wiseman before he pushes you.

[00:06:38]The launch site and the return site is not always at the same place.

[00:06:45]So, the vehicles need to be moved to a safe spot where can be returned.

[00:06:51]To gain access to the beach, you need a launching permit.

[00:07:00]I call it a beach access permit, but at the offices they call it a launching permit.

[00:07:05]Without that, you won't get access to the beach.

[00:07:09]Get to the beach, it's important that there is a register that you fill in at that little house.

[00:07:19]And um that's where you hand over your launching permit or your beach access permit, so that you are allowed to get onto the beach with your 4x4. It's a very important thing that I forgot.

[00:07:33]Your tires must be.8 on the vehicle and the boat.

[00:07:38]If it's not.8 and you get stuck, Wiseman will not help you.

[00:07:42]Now, this is Cape Vidal Gate, also better known as the Eastern Shores Gate.

[00:07:46]You have to come here.

[00:07:48]The road comes straight from St. Lucia Village to here, where you have buy your beach permit, your launch permit, your beach access permit. This is the office at the Cape Vidal Gate, the Eastern Shores Gate, where you get your launch permit, your beach access permit.

[00:08:10]It's not a ticket, it's a permit.

[00:08:14]And that's where you get your launch ticket.

[00:08:18]That's to give Wiseman permission to pull them push you around on the beach.

[00:08:23]Once you have purchased one or two or six launch tickets, please ask the staff on duty what is Wiseman's cell phone number, and notify Wiseman the day before that you are going to launch the next day.
