Fort Bay is the official and only port on the island of Saba and sits on the south side of the island. The port is very important for the island as most of its supplies arrive here by boat. The port is small in size as it currently only has two piers. The larger pier is dedicated to the cargo boats and the loading and unloading of dive boats, while the second smaller pier is mostly used by local fishermen. The port is also home to the Saba Sea Rescue Organization that have a rescue ship stationed just outside the mouth to the port. The ship is equipped with decompression tanks, rescue equipment and personnel. On land, there are also two decompression tanks that are used in diving emergency situations.
The port also contains two bars and one restaurant which are frequently visited by locals and tourists. Additionally the only gas station on the island is situated here and is supplied by Royal Dutch Shell.
Fort Bay has repeatedly been destroyed by hurricanes that effect the island. The latest hurricane to destroy one of the piers was Hurricane Omar in 2008.
Fortifications are military constructions and buildings designed for defence in warfare and military bases. Humans have constructed defensive works for many thousands of years, in a variety of increasingly complex designs. The term is derived from the Latin fortis ("strong") and facere ("to make").
Many military installations are known as forts, although they are not always fortified. Larger forts may class as fortresses; smaller ones formerly often bore the name of fortalices. The word fortification can also refer to the practice of improving an area's defence with defensive works. City walls are fortifications but not necessarily called fortresses.
The art of setting out a military camp or constructing a fortification traditionally classifies as castramentation, since the time of the Roman legions. The art/science of laying siege to a fortification and of destroying it has the popular name of siegecraft or 'siege warfare' and the formal name of poliorcetics. In some texts this latter term also applies to the art of building a fortification.
A bay is a large body of water connected to an ocean or sea formed by an inlet of land due to the surrounding land blocking some waves and often reducing winds. Bays also exist as an inlet in a lake or pond. A large bay may be called a gulf, a sea, a sound, or a bight. A cove is a circular or oval coastal inlet with a narrow entrance; some coves may be referred to as bays.
Bays were significant in the history of human settlement because they can provide a safe place for fishing. Later they were important in the development of sea trade as the safe anchorage they provide encouraged their selection as ports. Any bay may contain fish and other sea creatures or be adjacent to other bays. For example, James Bay is adjacent to Hudson Bay. Large bays, such as the Bay of Bengal and the Hudson Bay, have varied marine geology.
There are various ways that bays can be created. The largest bays have developed as a result of continental drift. As the super-continent Gondwana broke up along curved and indented fault lines, the continents moved apart and the world's largest bays formed. These include the Gulf of Guinea, Persian Gulf, Gulf of Alaska, Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Bengal which is the largest bay in the world.
See through these eyes.
Faces change a millions times.
Like rats they come and go.
And their teeth are sinking deeper Into the skin
tearing holes in this place I've called my home.
Where I can let go of everything inside.
Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I forget everything.
Through these eyes.
This is the only place where I can lose my mind.
I'm holding on,
This is all I've got.
Everything else lays in pieces.
This is all I've got.
I've got no other place to break this cage.
Break this cage!
I need some time alone inside my head.
I've got to dig through all these vines and make some
sense of this mess.
I can feel the rage like a lion in a cage. I'm about to
break and this worlds about to shake.
Give me room to breathe I'm suffocating.
It feels like all the walls are closing in on me.
I can't escape.
I can feel it building inside me. Something that I fear,
that I can no longer hide.
The bottle's breaking. I feel it coming to life.
There something that I've buried deep down inside.
So we say goodbye
and let the doves fly home.
We remember all the memories,
anything, just to feel your love again.
Cause there's no colour in this world.
There's no colour with out you.
So we say goodbye.
So we, So we say goodbye.
And You wont be left behind. Your heart carries on in
our minds.
The times that we had we'll hold close and we'll always
remember.
Nothing is going to change, I still think of you every
second of the day.
And I can still see your face, it flashes through my
mind every time I close my eyes.
So we say goodbye and let the doves fly home.
So this is pain. Don't say you'll never feel again.
Some times we hate the world for all the wrong reasons.
But this is life, and sometimes life will bring us
down.
Just remember ill be there for you, I know you'll be
there for me.
Nothings going to change, I still think of you every
second of the day.
I can still see your face, it flashes through my mind
Here in Paradise, Autumn Falls and nothing dies.
There's something in the air.
Cause every breath I take, I close my eyes and it takes
me away.
Fresh air percolates and pain longer floods my veins.
On the inside I find peace, like the silence of falling
leaves.
Hold this moment.
Take a breath, Breath it in.
Hold this moment.
A bit of peace, some clarity.
Cause I've been drowning in the shallow water.
I just can't seem to find my feet.
If heavens paradise then Im already dead.
Let the waves wash away all of whats left.
We've made it all these years.
But we've lost friends along the way.
Nothing can replace this empty space.
We know we've got each other
and we know there's no "forever"
The skies our limit and we will push it
if we ever reach the top.
So here to all the years of laughter, pain and tears.
To the ones we lost along the way.
We all know that in the end .
Everything will be ok.
So here to all the years of laughter, pain and tears.
To the ones we lost along the way.
What does it take to survive?
I'm looking at my life through the Devils eyes.
And he's ready to take me.
Take what ever is left and recreate me.
A new man made from stone.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's
gone cold.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's
stone cold.
Stone cold I cant feel anything.
Stone cold I cant feel anymore.
All hope is dead,
I tried and I tried and now there is nothing left.
Turned to the dark-side.
Cause it's the only place where I feel alive.
The bitter taste of stone.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's
gone cold.
I've given all the warmth from my heart and now it's
stone cold.
Stone cold, I cant feel anything.
Stone cold, I cant feel anymore.
Im growing cold, the beating is freezing in my chest.
I've been sinking.
This is rock bottom.
I was once told.
Summer is here.
These are the best days of our lives.
Hanging out with all my friends.
The best of memories.
Jonson Street on a Friday night.
Possum Creek, summer lovin, Jumping off the bridge.
Surfing, skating, hanging out.
The best of memories.
This is the place I call home.
This is where my heart belongs.
You wont take this away from me
This is all that I have.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Another year of summer love.
When we move on and all grow up.
We'll remember and always know
Home is where the hearts is.
The best of memories.
Home is where the hearts is.
The best days of our lives.
This is the feeling of lost.
No answers. No meaning.
I'm still searching for the feel of completion
There's no feeling like lost.
I love it, I need it,
Like there's something more to live or to die for.
I follow the horizon.
Where is home when your feeling soulless?
Where is home when you have no direction?
This is the feeling of lost.
I love it. I need it.
I'm still searching for feel of completion
Waiting is wasting, there's places to be.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
I have never felt so far from home.
Where is home when your feeling soulless?
Where is home when you have no direction?
Rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.
Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
watching sand sift slowly by.
Bleeding eyes of a sleepless night,
beaten by the midnight fight.
Time decays, and rots away.
When the lights go out the ghosts come out to play.
I've been thinking, drowning, sinking inside My mind.
Day Light's creeping up on me so I say goodbye to a
good nights sleep again.
Another night alone.
I've got rats in my head,
A plague. A disease,
scratching away discontent is bleeding.
Staring at the roof watching time pass by
as my sinking thoughts flood the middle night.
Time decays, and rots away.
Eyes wide, the silence feeds my mind.
The silence has broken. The ghosts have woken.
Theres no peace in sleep if all nightmares are dreams.
So much for the good night sleep that I've been bid
I've been tied by a chain to dead weight
The past will never let me go.
I've been trying to let go for so long now
set fire to all my ghosts.
Scars open wide, empty inside,
hollowed out by pain. Theres secrets that I've kept
hidden away.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are haunting my
mind.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are secrets that I
left behind.
All of the pain accumulates
snowballs into a fuel of hate.
The mask that I wear is slowly slipping.
and its beginning to reveal everything I've hidden.
Tonight the dark-side rides, and the monster inside no
longer hides.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are haunting my
mind.
All the ghost's I've bottled up inside are secrets that I
