Petit Saint Vincent, generally known as PSV, is a private island of international reputation. After a carreer with the Air Force, Haze and his flying buddy, Doug Terman met Willis Nichols while touring the Grenadines. The trio decided to acquire an Island in the West Indies. They anchored at the then uninhabited Petit St.Vincent and learned from the people on neighboring islands that it was owned by a lady living high up on the hill on nearby Petit Martinique who agreed to sell the island.
Haze and Doug then started building a hotel, which became one of the most exclusive places in the world, the Petit Saint Vincent Resort. Haze stayed on as manager and owner for 40 years and his wife, Lynn, now continues to own and manage this little paradise for the very rich.
Status: Despite being private property, the island is part of the state of St Vincent and the Grenadines, independant since 27 October 1997 and member of the Commonwealth with Kingstown on St Vincent as capital.
Language: English
Currency: U.S$, Euro, pounds sterling, and EC$ are used.
