I’m 54, and it sucked. Mostly contaminated fenced off along with center airstrip taking up most of the island. Wind blew same direction every day in case of chemical leaks like it would matter 🙂 and it made riding your bicycle very difficult to get to the three bars for .50 cent mixed drinks but you could fly back.

No beans, it was something interesting to look up. There is another island dredged in the same shape in another location during WWII.
