Montserrat - Kevin vs. the Volcano

When Soufriere Hills volcano erupted back in 1995, it completely destroyed the southern half of Montserrat. This afternoon as we approached the island, we could see the green rolling hillside of the north and in the background was the barren brown wasteland of the Exclusion Zone (that's what they call it -- no one is allowed to go there). The volcano itself is still belching ash daily into the sky, and tomorrow when we continue southbound we have to pass the island on the windward side so that our boat doesn't get covered in ash. We also have to stay at least 2 miles offshore as they have set up a maritime exclusion zone around the southern half of the island. But life goes on and people have resettled on the northwest coast out of range of the volcano. We are only planning on staying here overnight and aren't even planning on going ashore. But shhh...don't tell customs and immigration. We're supposed to clear in and out of each country but it is Sunday and it's not worth paying the overtime fees to be here less than 24 hours.
