As in all things, there are winners and losers but there is also how we play the game. With the majority of sailing regattas under the belt and that aspect of the season slowing down, it is time for a little refl ection as we move into summer. Traditionally the island slows down in the summer, or at least the fl ow of tourism does. Perhaps this year more than ever will be the test of a season which in recent years has kept going through September. What is left, however, once the tourists are gone is the people that live and work here year round. Certain sectors of our population have more time on their hands for picking up new hobbies or enjoying some island time for themselves. In the next few issues we will be looking at summer sports, notably water sports and diving. In this issue , we look at the end of a season for a BVI racing crew, who all live here and have full-time jobs. We also take a lighthearted look at yacht music and provisioning your own boat, which is becoming increasingly popular. On that note it seems apt to introduce and welcome Traci O'Dea on our writing and editorial team. Traci joins us on both sides of the guides and in other aspects of our business here at aLookingGlass. For us, we have not only expanded our team, but our offi ces, too, still in Road Reef Plaza. When I worked in water sports, a visiting client once told me that he'd rather have all the comforts of the Western world and two weeks in the BVI as opposed to the island life year round. For those living here, that choice is made with a big smile and very little regret.

Enjoy your time in, on and off the water,

SKIPPER’STIPS35

by David Blacklock

Hooked Up and Holding

I've recently had the pleasure of watching sailors from all over the globe, aboard charter yachts and tricked-out cruising vessels, happily pick up a mooring close to the Tui Marine base. I happen to know that the mooring ball is attached to a tiny Danforth anchor and is more suitable for tying up a surfboard than a heavy-displacement yacht. However, dumb luck and favourable breezes have kept most of these yachts from harm. What's most surprising is the almost absurd amount of trust that these sailors place in a length of rope and a plastic sphere. A nice aluminium cruising yacht recently abandoned this mooring in favour of deploying its trusty anchor. Having dropped his hook, the sailor star ted to back down to set the anchor. The surprise on the faces of the couple on this boat was plain to see from quite a way off. The boat star ted to back down and kept on backing as

the anchor chain snapped taut and then slacked off again. Nothing seemed to get the anchor to set—in exasperation, they hauled in their chain and found, hanging from their anchor, the remnants of an inflatable dinghy. Somehow they had hooked a dink and had dragged it around the anchorage, narrowly missing several boats close by. The next challenge was to remove the dinghy from the flukes of their anchor before motoring away in search of safer haven. Busy harbours can often mean messy seabeds. There may be old chain and mooring gear, dinghies, engine blocks or even supermarket trollies littering the bottom. One common solution to the problem of fouled gear is to float a trip line from the anchor, using a fender for flotation. This way if your anchor fouls on chain or other impediments you can work

the trip line from your dinghy and pull the anchor out from beneath the obstruction. Often, it is smart to swim over the anchor if the visibility is decent. This way you'll know just what is

down there and how your anchor is set. Many times I have been surprised to find my anchor lying happily on its side with not a

piece buried, even though I would swear it had set. It's best to find these things out before that 40-knot squall blows through the anchorage and sets your boat wandering. Mostly, the moorings to be found in designated areas such as the Bight and Cooper Island and so forth can be trusted. It's those anonymous looking balls that so conveniently are still available when all around them are occupied that ought to make a sailor nervous. YG

. . .in exasperation, they hauled in their chain and found, hanging from their anchor, the remnants of an inflatable dinghy.

What's better: taking a mooring or dropping your anchor? Every sailor has his own opinion, of course, but if faced with a choice, many experienced sailors prefer to drop an anchor. The reasons are fairly simple—if you know your boat and its gear then you can drop a hook with confidence. Who knows what lies beneath the mooring ball? It could be tied to the seabed with dental floss. Or worse, attached by only a few crumbs of rusted iron.


The literal definition of a watering hole is a naturally occurring depression in which water collects, where animals come to drink. Though the outdoor seating area of The Watering Hole is at street level, it seems sunken because it’s several feet below the door of the wine shop and bar. Planted and potted trees add to the impression of an oasis. Throw in some Sahara dust, a few chickens and lizards, and a real watering hole is easy to imagine. Juxtaposed with the outdoor oasis, the indoor wine shop and bar resonate more with the informal, figurative definition of watering hole—a social gathering place where drinks are served, as in “Davy Byrnes pub was the preferred watering hole of both James Joyce and Leopold Bloom.” Once inside, I feel like I’m stepping into the cask room of a vineyard. The corked and foiled tops of wine bottles in wooden racks provide a sort of three-dimensional wallpaper. Oak wine barrels, flanked by rough-hewn stools, serve as high-top tables. The smell of roasted coffee, leftover from D’ Best Cup, the coffee shop that operates the space in the mornings, somehow adds to the cask-room feel, leading me to imagine a French vintner sipping an espresso while discussing his harvest.

The Watering Hole is all about the wine. My friend and I each order a glass of Shiraz, a drinkable red that he says tastes like raspberries, but which transports me to Torch Lake, Michigan, and the smoky, tart flavour of cooked Michigan cherries in a warm slice of homemade pie. As we chat with owner Graeme Maccallum about the wine education classes that The Watering Hole offers, I begin mentally planning a trip to Napa and envisioning scenes from my favorite wine-related movies—Bottle Shock and Conte d’automne. When I emerge from my daydream, I peruse The Watering Hole’s tapas menu—a few basic offerings that serve as a pre-dinner snack. We order polorie–

spicy, Guyanese fried dough balls that taste like hush puppies with a kick. They are served with two dipping bowls of chutney, a spicy one and a sweet one. They

are a perfect amuse-bouche, and at only $4, they barely dent our evening’s budget. “I want to provide a stopgap before people go to dinner,” Graeme says. “I’m not trying to compete with The Dove or Spaghetti Junction.” Other items on the tapas menu are a cheese plate (your choice of one, two or three cheeses for $10, $15 or $20), chicken paté for $6, smoked fish dip for $8, and gherkins or

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there

are two definitions of watering hole—one literal

and one figurative. The so-named Tortola wine

bar manages to be both definitions at once.

whole sweet peppers for $4. With wines always priced at $3 or $5 per glass, I wouldn’t be surprised if The Watering Hole is taking business away from some of the more expensive happy hours in town. Especially on Thursdays when the third drink is free! Not only is The Watering Hole the perfect place to stop before going out to dinner, but it’s also the perfect place to stop before cooking at home. Pick up a bottle of wine on your way out of town. The staff will be happy to make a recommendation, and the prices are barely more than wholesale. The Watering Hole is located in Road Town in Wickham’s Cay, not far from the cruise ship pier. The wine shop is open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and until 9 p.m. on Thursday and Friday. Saturday hours are 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They are closed on Sundays, but the space is available for private functions. Though D’ Best Cup vends coffee in the mornings, wines are still available for sale. The wine bar takes over for the afternoons and evenings. Contact them at 494-3340 or send them an email at [email protected] to find out about upcoming tastings, classes and events. YG

An oasis in the middle of Road Town

. . .it's also the perfect place to stop before cooking at home


While out on the water with visitors in December, my friends and I argued about the perfect music for an afternoon sail. One friend wanted reggae, another suggested sing-alongs, while I sought something deeper—a soundtrack that refl ected the beauty of our surroundings but still had a dark undercurrent, mimetic of the often overlooked dangers of the sea. Since we couldn’t agree, our captain took charge and tuned the dial to ZROD which stayed on all the way back to Soper’s Hole. Determined to fi nd what I was looking for, I checked the internet to see if any sailing playlists already existed. Instead, I came across a Wikipedia entry for “yacht rock.” The term, allegedly coined in 1990 by music critic Dave Larsen in reference to a Jimmy Buffett concert, describes soft rock music from the late seventies to early eighties, with most artists hailing from Southern California. When I read the list of artists included in the genre—The Eagles, Steely Dan, Christopher Cross, and Toto—I was transported not to the open seas but to the vinyl bench seat of my mother’s brown Chevy Caprice station wagon. I always sat in the middle, between my mom and my big sister, eye-level with the AM/FM radio dial—a black strip with broken and unbroken white lines, similar to the highways near our suburban home.

We spent a lot of time in the car, commuting to and from school, and I still know all the words to practically every yacht rock song. I mean to say, I know the words now. Then, I often misheard the lyrics of those easy listening hits. I guess they weren’t so

“easy” to listen to if you were a fi ve-year old kid unfamiliar with the logic of late-seventies love affairs. To my inexperienced ears, the chorus of Ambrosia’s “How Much I Feel” sounded like “Momma Chucky” and Player’s “Baby Come Back” had the lyric, “I was robbed, and I just can’t live without you” instead of “I was wrong, and I just can’t live without you.” I sang these incorrect lyrics loudly, with passion. I guess my mom just didn’t have the heart to correct me. At the same time that I was cruising around in the wood-decaled wagon mishearing song lyrics, adults in Southern California were, according to Wikipedia, cruising around in yachts listening to the same tunes but probably fi nding deeper meaning in the correct lyrics. Thus the genre is called “yacht rock” and not

“station wagon rock.” Now living in the BVI, I still appreciate those overpolished gems from my childhood, but they’re

not quite what I’m seeking to accompany my voyages at sea. In addition to the dark undercurrent, I think I’d also like to recapture the innocence of my youth by fi nding compelling lyrics that I could possibly

mishear—songs that I can listen to over and over again and be struck by something new each time. When I visited the States in February, I once again found myself cruising around in my mom’s car. This time,

instead of riding center in the wagon listening to soft rock hits, I’d upgraded to shotgun in a sedan listening to the local college station, WTMD. While Mom maneuvered around less snow-savvy cars on the interstate, I turned up the volume on a Fleet Foxes song that sounded like Simon & Garfunkel meets the Beach Boys meets the Polyphonic Spree. The lyric “red as strawberries in the summertime” transpor ted me to childhood summers picking strawberries on the coast of Delaware. After downloading the track, “Winter Weather Hymnal,” from iTunes and listening a few more times, I realized the lovely, harmony-laden tune was not as bright and cheerful as I’d first thought. The full lyric is, “Michael you will fall and

turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.” Exactly what my sailing soundtrack needed—a little reminder of mortality among the swirling splendor. With that in mind, I constructed my contemporary sailing-day playlist, full of pretty, poppy tunes with often disturbing or confounding lyrics. Try it out for your next leisurely sail.

1. “Winter Weather Hymnal” by the Fleet Foxes. See above.

2. “Baby Britain” by Elliot Smith. Full of heraldic melodies and rush-to-the-surface builds. Lyric:

“Sees the ocean fall and rise/ Counts the waves that somehow didn’t hit her.”

3. “Poor Little Fish” by The Jayhawks.

4. “Lull” by Andrew Bird. Violins, harmonies, mentions Jacques Cousteau.

5. “Sail Away” by David Gray.

6. “I Can’t Stay” by The Killers. Steeldrums. In a

rock song. Somehow it works.

7. “Rowing Song” by Patty Griffin. Reminiscent of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” Lyric: “The further I go, more letters from home never arrive.”

8. “War on War” by Wilco. Lyric: “You have to learn how to die, if you wanna wanna be alive.”

9. “Do You Realize?” by The Flaming Lips. The refrain sounds like an angelic choir. Lyric:

“Do you realize that you have the most beautiful face…that we’re floating in space…that everyone you know someday will die.”

10. “O Sailor” by Fiona Apple.

11. “Coconut Skins” by Damien Rice. Nice acoustic,

bonfire-side rock.

12. “Sea Legs” by The Shins. Lyric: “Come away from an emptier boat.”

After all this, I considered one last option for a sailing soundtrack: listening to composer John

Cage’s “4’33”” on repeat. It’s a song with no sound at all. Cage composed it in order to encourage people to regard their surrounding noise as music. And considering that tracks of “Tropical

Ocean Surf ” and “Waves and Sea Birds” are available on iTunes, maybe I should just tune in to the sounds of a sail. YG

I was transported not to the open seas but to the vinyl bench seat of my mother’s brown Chevy Caprice station wagon.


Seven people for a table at eight and possibly a hundred bucks a head (no junior discount for lobster) and yes, you are looking at a pretty heavy whack on top of an already expensive vacation. You ask yourself just how long are you going to be paying off this holiday. Your plastic friend can save you face right now, but its counterpart on paper is going to remind you how costly that attitude of “Hey, no worries. You only live once” will make you pay. We budgeted for that though, you say, but have you considered the cost of provisioning to make your week’s charter just a bit more cost effective? Consider this first: there is no livestock in the BVI to go towards that steak dinner. Nor is there a vast fishing industry that keeps prices down. Everything here, even the bananas, are imported. There is no sales tax, but prices include an import duty, price of gas and rising overheads, so do expect your eight-ounce steak to be about forty dollars or so and a banana split to cost around ten bucks. You do get what you pay for, so you aren’t being blatantly ripped off by any means. Restaurants aren’t homeless

shelters for sunburnt yachties, and there are costs of running a business. Then there’s the painstaking cost of getting that steak to you and the price of it being cooked. It’s a jungle out here! So, if you miss the cost of dining at a discount chain restaurant in a tropical paradise, look a little closer on your boat and you might save a penny or a thousand. There are several excellent provisioning stores in the BVI, and they sell more than just six dollar bottles of rum. There is also an excellent fishery here with fresh caught fish. Other seafood can readily be obtained from good places like the Sailor’s Ketch and the fisheries depar tment themselves. Granted, there is a markup on your supermarket prices, and before you star t grumbling—yes, the price of toilet paper or cocktail peanuts here is considerably higher than back in the States, but bear in mind as you were

flying over a cargo ship on the way here, those peanuts were probably on that boat below and took a long time to get here with a lot of labor involved. Bless dem travelling peanuts! So, can you expect to put a whole week’s provisioning in the tiny fridges and holds on the boat?

Well, yes, within reason. Some charters will advise you on the best provisioning stores, and private charters will even send you a shopping list. Supermarkets and stores here will even

cater for a large shopping list and have your goods delivered to your boat; they like to do it and it's good business! What you can’t pack in you might want to eat on day one or two! After the meal is done, and you are proud you have saved that hard-earned money, you can go ashore to the bar for rum. The rum drink will cost you six bucks, the same price as a whole bottle in the store, but that’s another topic for another time! YG

by Owen Waters

Okay, the day’s sailing is over and happy hour is on. The sun is setting on the horizon and already the belly is rumbling for a little bit more than cocktail peanuts. Grilled lobster is ashore at a waterfront resort, and it’s your turn to shout for dinner. It's Me or the Lobster

. . .if you wanted to savor the luxury of eating at discount chain restaurant prices in a tropical paradise, look a

little closer on your boat. . .


Atlantis Adventures to Cease Sub Tours by David Blacklock

St. Thomas Submarine on the Rocks

According to Gary Cram, Atlantis's general manager in St. Thomas, “it is our intention to cease submarine tour operations in St. Thomas as of May 31, 2009, barring some intervention that could keep us operating beyond that date. The reason for closing is simple: prospects for turning a profit – or even covering expenses – are dim in this current environment.” Atlantis will continue to operate its catamaran sail and snorkel tours. Founded in 1986, Atlantis began operations off the Cayman Islands and opened in St. Thomas the following year. Operating from seven bases in the Caribbean, three in Hawaii and one in Guam, Atlantis claims to have catered to 11 million customers. Janet Griffiths of Atlantis Adventures' Caribbean regional office told the BVI Yacht Guide that the closing was confined to the submarine operation and was not extended to any of the other Caribbean bases. “We're not booking as many tours from cruise ships, and land-based tours are down as well on St. Thomas,” she said. Is the Atlantis's experience the canary in the tourism goldmine? Here in Tortola, things may not be

so dire. Local tourist attraction Dolphin Discovery says business may be slower but is still viable. “In comparison with other years, tours have been down,” said Carlos Guerrero, Dolphin Discovery's BVI manager, “but we are doing fine with the cruise ships in Tortola.” While the submarine tour and the dolphin experience are similarly priced, Guerrero hinted that the Atlantis's difficulties might stem from their higher costs and subsequent need to keep their submarine filled. “I don't know much about their business,” Guerrero said, “but people still want to have fun on vacations, though they are watching their dollars.” Atlantis manager Gary Cram, describing the company's predicament, said, “the drop in tourist arrivals and cruise ship calls combined with the impact of the economic crisis and rising operating costs created a perfect storm that was not producing

enough paying customers to support a high-overhead business like our tourist submarine,” he told BVIYG. Lending support to Dolphin Discovery's

Guerrero, Cram said “I know that most other tour operators and retail stores are suffering, although I suspect those with significantly lower overhead will be able to weather the storm.” YG

In what is clearly an ominous sign for the Virgin Islands tourism industry, Vancouver-based submarine tour operator Atlantis Adventures has announced the closing of its popular reef tour business in the USVI.

Going down?

Tourists submerged at 67 feet, without getting wet

For the BVI, now and then comes a boat and a crew with an outstanding season. With success in the St. Maarten and a first in their class at Rolex, Jurakan and crew look like they are on a winning streak or a formidable formula. Jurakan is driven by a certain individual, inventor and entrepreneur Dave West, who resides on Tortola. Standing alert, focused and with a wide pirate grin, Dave is happy to talk about his season.

YG: First off, tell me a little bit about the stats of the boat.

DW: The Melges 32 is a popular one-design racer. 32-feet long, 3900 lbs. The boat is very light for its sail area. It has a foam core, fiberglass hull, carbon mast with PBO rigging, carbon rudder and carbon bulb keel. It is strictly a racer—it has no ber ths, head or galley. The mainsail is very large and the jib is small (105%). The spinnaker is huge for the boat’s weight.

YG: Your performance at the 2009 St. Maarten Heineken Regatta was outstanding. Can you tell us a bit about the experience?DW: We campaigned the boat in 2007 and 2008 with moderate success. We had more and more excellent BVI racers becoming interested in the boat and the program,

so we decided to put together a team that could dedicate themselves to mastering this boat for the 2009 season. We enlisted Sam Rogers as a crew coach. Sam races on the top Melges 32s in the world. He worked for Melges for three years. We also got Peter Holmberg on board to raise our level of tactics and driving. The combination worked very well. All three days of racing were very windy. We were able to make excellent spinnaker sets and douses while some other crews struggled. With Sam's constant urging, Jon Clayton and Tom Clarke (our forward crew) performed tasks at hyper-speed in very tough conditions. Peter was expert at coaching Kevin Wrigley (jib trim) and Huw Pritchard Jones (main trim) on upwind boat setup and sail trim. Peter worked with Andrew Waters on upwind driving in the big wind and waves. We all knew first place was within our capability. However, a driving error by me in the third race was all it took to relegate us to second place. We were all very pleased with the gains we had made, but, even more so, we all want to continue getting better. We are still a long way from mastering the Melges 32.

Blinding Speed with Dave West

Hiking it!

There are no riders on this boat—it takes every crew performing at 100%



Sailing with pros Peter Holmberg and Sam Rogers in St. Maarten was a wonderful opportunity to learn from the best. It was very hard work. The level of focus demanded by the pros can be a rude awakening for us mere mortals. We were forced to work at warp speed and maximum physical exertion 100% of the time. It was truly brutal. There was no time for high fives or even smiles over a well done mark rounding. The entire focus was on the next moment, working to keep the boat at maximum performance to save every second possible. Each day at the end of the races we were exhausted. We all loved it! We knew we wanted more of the same. YG: So, tell us about what happened at Rolex, once Peter Holmberg was out.

DW: Peter suggested we ask Anthony Kotoun on board as coach for Rolex and BVI Spring Regatta. Anthony agreed. He helped us prepare the boat for the Rolex and practiced with us in BVI. Our first race went well. The crew was truly on a whole different mental program than last year. The coaching was taking hold. Maneuvers that were once riddles with pitfalls seemed to flow like a graceful dance. Each crew was finding physical strength, speed and endurance that we didn't know we had. Anthony was a great crew boss, always asking for more strength and speed, chanting us through the worst of it. We were gaining a high level of confidence in ourselves and in each other. And I am telling you, this boat requires a very high level of self-confidence and confidence in each other. It can bite back in very harsh ways.

YG: What do you mean?

DW: The second race of the first day was going great. We struggled with some very high spinnaker angles then gained back a lot of time with some great windward legs, Anthony calling shifts like magic. Somewhere near the last windward mark a port tack boat (50-some feet, lots of pounds) hit us two feet forward of the stern on the port side. We bounced like a beach ball. Several of us were knocked down. We gained control of the boat, counted heads and continued. Anthony looked over the side and proclaimed we were okay and to keep racing. Jon went for the spinnaker hoist on the bow. Grabbed the lifeline for support. It wasn't there, he went overboard. He managed to hang on and Peter had him back on board in a flash. Up went the kite. We went on to win that race. The damage amounted to a six-inch hole in the sheer, a bent pushpit and a broken life line. We could not continue racing in that condition. Thank goodness it was the last race of the day. As we entered Cowpet Bay, we noticed that Rushin’ Rowlette, owned by Kevin Rowlette of the BVI, had a much shorter mast than it had started the day with. Huw and I took the rib over to Lakota. What could I say to Kevin? I decided to say exactly what I was thinking: “Kevin, I’m so sorry about you mast. Is there anything I can do? Can I take your life lines?” “You vulture, yeah, take what you need,” was his response. Rushin Rowlette’s mayday was Jurakan’s payday.

Kevin’s parts fit great. He really saved our regatta. Add some duct tape, and we were back in business. Saturday and Sunday were tight racing, especial with the Coors Light team from St. Maarten. When we came in to our mooring after the last race Sunday, we didn't know the final results. We knew it was close. Crew were calling girlfriends to see if the web had the results. Not yet. We had a lot of work to do to get the boat ready for the tow home. After what seemed an eternity, we got the call. Kim, my wife, had the final results. We had won our class. We managed a respectable three firsts and three seconds to hold on to first place by three points. Kim,

Dana, Claire and Shannon were on the ferry to be at the prize-giving. It started to sink in for all of us.

After so many years of trying, we had finally done it. We had won at Rolex! We were watch virgins no longer. The prize-giving was quite a celebration. I will forever treasure the crew's expressions of joy and accomplishment.

YG: After St Maarten and Rolex, you guys are top of the game. Do you fear ending up being the ones to beat?

DW: Well, every one of the crew has been in that position in the past and would love to be in that position again. YG

Music, Food, Friends and FunWhen I asked BVI Tourist Board Marketing Manager Lynette Harrigan and David Archer, Public Relations Officer for BVI Music Fest Cane Garden Bay Limited, which artists they were particularly looking forward to for this year’s event, they said in unison, “All of them.” Mr. Archer followed with, “I just try to maintain my composure when talking about the lineup; I’m so excited.” I complimented the committee on the inclusion of strong female voices such as Queen Ifrica, Tanya Stephens and Zoelah. “We wanted to ensure we had a cross-section of artists, of course,” Mr. Archer said. “And we’ve made a strong effort to reach out to our diverse community. We’re especially excited about Daddy Yankee, who has never performed in this part of the Caribbean,” Ms. Harrigan said. They stressed the fact that each night has something for everyone, instead of being completely separated by genres. For example, reggae sensation Tanya Stephens is closing out the night on Sunday, a night that previously featured mostly R&B acts. “Wouldn’t it be nice if the BVI Music Fest became a destination festival, similar to ones in the States and Europe like Bonnaroo or Glastonbury Festival? A place where people come to BVI specifically for the music?” I asked. “We already have that,” Ms. Harrigan said. “People who come to Cane Garden Bay for the Music Fest rebook their rooms for the next year before they leave. All the rooms in Cane Garden are

My dimly lit, carpeted office in Road Reef Plaza is not exactly the best place for

grooving, but, to the amusement of my coworkers, I can’t stop chair-dancing with

my headphones on as I listen to the lineup for this year’s BVI Music Fest.

already filled up.” Ms. Harrigan also indicated that word of mouth is spreading fast, especially in Puerto Rico because of Daddy Yankee. “It gives you a good buzz to come down the hill into Cane Garden Bay and see all the boats from Puerto Rico grouped together. That is another way that our festival is unique, because of the boating aspect, and that is the reason why it is staying in Cane Garden Bay.” For the three days of the festival, Cane Garden Bay will be an official port of entry for visitors from St John, St Thomas and Virgin Gorda, with a special ferry schedule between the islands. “Customs and immigration has always been helpful,” Mr. Archer added. Ms. Harrigan mentioned that Music Fest is another vehicle to promote not only the BVI’s topographical beauty but also the culture of the BVI by showcasing more than just music—local visual artists, dancers and poets will share their work as well. Along with artists, the established restaurants and vendors of Cane Garden Bay will continue doing what they do best—making their customers happy. All the restaurants, stands and shops will be open during the BVI Music Festival. In addition, twenty booths featuring local foods, island drinks and souvenirs will be set up to serve attendees’ desires to eat, drink, shop and keep their energy up. They’ll need it, especially if my chair-dancing is any indication of the irrepressible urge to move while listening to these artists. As Ms. Harrigan said, “It’s one of the events that everyone in the BVI looks forward to.”

Advance Tickets Three-day passes, at a reduced price of $45, will be available for sale on Saturday, May 2 at Noel Lloyd Positive Action Movement Park (formerly Palm Grove Park) at an event cosponsored by LIME and on May 15 and 16 at the box office of the Multi-Purpose Sports Complex. YG

Zoelah, from St Vincent, is a soca artist with flavour. Her most popular hit, “Go Down Low,” is a favorite with the ladies. “Fly Away” cleverly uses the melody from the chorus of Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.”

Ricky T brings the St Lucian brand of soca to Cane Garden Bay. His high-energy hit “Pressure Boom,” with its mix of drum and digital beats, is sure to get the crowd moving.

Jamesy P’s biggest hit, 2005’s “Nookie,” features the Oscar-nominated artist M.I.A. Born in St Vincent, he has lived in the BVI since 1991.

Also known as Mr. Freestyle, Peter Ram started out as a DJ in Barbados. After making history in the nineties with his AIDS-themed dub song

“Dangerous Test,” he branched into soca and has recently had two huge hits: “Woman by My Side” and

“Pumpin’.”

Dancehall superstar Busy Signal gained wide recognition with his 2005 hit “Step Out.” His music also has sensitive side with tracks like “I Love Yuh.”

Saturday, May 23

Cane Garden Bay’s own Quito Rymer, whose track “Mix Up World” is on Putumayo’s Islands compilation, kicks off Saturday with his Caribbean-themed music.

Jamaica’s Queen Ifrica got her start in the music business in 1995 the same way her father, reggae legend Derrick Morgan got his start in 1957, by winning a talent contest. Since then, Queen has performed her socially conscious music, most notably the controversial reggae megahits “Mi Nah Rub” and “Daddy,” all over the world.

Another Music Fest artist from Jamaica, Serani’s most famous work has been as a producer for Sean Paul and others, but he scored his own recording contract in 2008. “No Games,” his

biggest hit, features his producing talents as well as his charming, infectious voice.

Daddy Yankee was named, alongside such performers as Will Smith and Ellen DeGeneres, in 2006’s TIME 100, a list of “100 men and women whose power, talent or moral example is changing our world.” His reggaeton smash “Gasolina” won a Latin Grammy in 2005 and fired up the international music charts.

Jamaica’s Sizzla has performed with such artists as Wyclef Jean, Talib Kweli and Shaggy, and is also known for his timeless reggae recordings “Just One of Those Days” and “Give Me a Try.”

Sunday, May 24

The BVI’s Lashing Dogs, from Sea Cow’s Bay, play a mix of fungi, reggae and American rock music. Fungi music is made for dancing and celebrating, especially barefoot in the sand.

The Imaginations were a group from the sixties who, according to All Music Guide, recorded strong “doo wop cuts with solid harmonies.”

A calypso crooner, Baron performs everything from Jazz standards like

“Summertime” and “Fools Rush In” to Caribbean hits like “Pom Pom Shorts” and “Sweet Soca Man.”

Rock & Roll Hall of Famers The Drifters have recorded classic doo wop hits since 1953. Locals and tourists alike will be swaying and singing along to “Under the Boardwalk,” “This Magic Moment,”

“Some Kind of Wonderful,” and “Up on the Roof.”

Tanya Stephens is poised for international superstardom. Her artful and accessible compositions have enabled her to conquer the often male-dominated reggae scene in Jamaica. While her lyrics tackle all aspects of the female experience, from sexism to sexuality, her songs speak to all genders and cultures.

Can you ask for a better venue?


EDGE 2009 RBVIYC International Sailing Clinic

During the week of March 20th through the 26th, the waters, islands and winds of the BVI were host to the top youth sailors in the world who were training to improve their skills for future endeavours. Sailors from six different countries participated in the First Annual Royal British Virgin Island Yacht Club International Sailing Clinic, a week filled with long-distance sails, covering several miles, and short, quick-paced drills. Invitations were sent to surrounding Caribbean islands, as well as South American and North American countries, to bring in their top youths to take part in training with the British Virgin Islands Youth Sailing Team. The idea to expose the British Virgin Islands top youth to a high level of competition and training came in part from the

Royal BVI Yacht Club and the British Virgin Islands Olympic Committee. With an ample amount of support from both, the BVI will move forward to increase the attendance for future Olympic events, starting with the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics in Singapore, Summer Olympics in London 2012 and moving on to the 2016 Summer Olympics, which will select a host country in October 2009. Sailors and coaches from St. Maarten (Netherlands Antilles), Canada, Australia, United States Virgin Islands, Peru and the British Virgin Islands were all on hand to take part in the seven-day clinic. Brendan Casey (AUS) who in 1995 and 1996 won back-to-back Laser Radial World championships and in 2002 was fifth at the Laser Standard World championships, worked directly with the Laser sailors. Top-ranked North American sailor Mike Todd (CAN) worked directly with the

Sailing in the British Virgin Islands is not a new concept. For decades people from all over the world have enjoyed the pristine waters of the BVI, the sand of our islands, and the warm, steady trade winds.

new fad in racing and spreading fast to the rest of the

Caribbean and North America.

Optimist sailors, and helped select the 2009 British Virgin Islands North American Sailing team, which had five spots to compete for in the upcoming North American championships which will be hosted in the Dominican Republic in July 2009. Training took place out of the Royal BVI Yacht Club and Nanny Cay Resort & Marina. With long distance sails in the Sir Francis Drake Channel, which included Cooper Island to Norman Island and back to Nanny Cay, sailors got a chance to push themselves among some of the top-ranked youth sailors. These sailors included Alexander Zimmerman from Peru, Rhone Findlay from St Maarten, and the BVI’s Alec Anderson, all of whom have posted top international results in their respective classes. Sailors also got a chance to tour the

surrounding islands and beaches while averaging a solid four to six hours on-water training per day. The intimate size of the clinic enabled the sailors to receive a high level of training, tailored to each individual’s needs and goals The success of the first annual International Sailing Clinic that the Royal BVI Yacht Club and the BVI Olympic Committee have hosted will prove to be invaluable to the extent of the knowledge that both the international and BVI participants have gained. In 2010, the clinic will open its doors to as many as ten countries and increase the camp’s capacity to 24 participants. The Kids And The Sea (KATS) program, Nanny Cay Resort & Marina, Royal BVI Yacht Club, the Anderson family and the BVI Olympic Committee all made generous contributions. YG
