Fuel strike on St. Barts?

Any locals have more info on what the gossip pages are reporting:

"But spies on St. Barts, the ship's home port, say that a strike called there yesterday was causing havoc for wealthy vacationers. A source on the island said, "There is a huge fuel strike. The local fishermen are blocking all boats, including fuel tankers, from getting to or from the island. No one can come to St. Barts or leave. All the boats are lined up in the harbor with nowhere to go."

Any word on when strike will end - if anything is being done - how it may affect visitors over the holidays, if there is fule for autos, or other disruptions beside port? Bob

Bob I saw on a forum today that the strike is already over - it lasted just one day. So it sounds like there should be no problems over the holidays.
