    This is the ghut that was built by the junction leading to the hills of Diamond Estate. Some know it be next to Ishmael Hodge’s residence. Yardies know it as by the mango tree. This is passing Ronnie’s Bar.

    PS: and this was not a million dollar project…just clear effective and intelligent construction!

    Give thanks for the acknowledgements. Blessings of Nature

    I would say its a river in it’s own right. Tortola just doesn’t have the rainfall to sustain it. The beauty of God in nature.

    This is how the ghuts should be fixed no need for $1M contracts that end up with worthless infrastructure
