St Maarten Euros Winair
Two items about St Maarten from The Daily Herald.
1) Quite a few merchants on the Dutch side now accept euros, but not at a very attractive rate "since they have to go to a bank on the French side to convert them to dollars". More confirmation that the de facto currency of the Dutch side is the US dollar. 2) Winair, which connects St Maarten with Saba, Statia, St Barths, etc., is having its usual financial problems. One of their Twin Otters is nearing end-of-life and will not be replaced. That will leave them with two Twin Otters and two small Islanders as their total fleet. |
