See story on page 26 Compass covers the Caribbean! From Cuba to Trinidad, from Panama to Barbuda, we’ve got the news and views that sailors can use. We’re the Caribbean’s monthly look at sea and shore. ‘It is not always true that you get what you pay for: Caribbean Compass is free and full of useful information. In our early cruising days I saved articles about lesser-known cruising destinations such as Venezuela, Colombia and Panama, and about land excursions on islands and recipes using local fresh produce. I had several folders of useful information that received a lot of use. I am also a big fan of the Caribbean Eco-News section. Many of the islands are trying to address issues of pollution and habitat destruction, and positive press helps their efforts and informs us of new or impending regulations. ‘I strongly feel that the content of the Caribbean Compass represents the interests of the cruising community and yacht-support businesses in the Caribbean islands.’ — Devi Sharp Formerly on S/V Arctic Tern Santa Marta Cartagena Click Google Map link below to fi nd the Caribbean Compass near you! http://bit.ly/1fMC2Oy Caribbean dollars from the Caribbean Development Bank and the Centre for Development of Enterprise, which was used to improve marketing, to conduct an Assessment of Economic Impact the yachting sector has in Grenada, and to improve security for yachts visiting Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique. The funds were also used for a major initiative on training for the many technicians work- ing in the sector. The main findings of the Economic Impact Assessment were that yachting-related business contributes more than EC$130 million to the island’s economy annually and Info directly employs more than 900 Grenadians. These results reinforced MAYAG’s repre- sentations on behalf of the sector to the Government of Grenada, which now sees the industry as a major component of its economic growth strategy. & Updates Specific deliverables for the past five years for marketing include developing a mar- keting plan, attending boat shows, producing and distributing thousands of copies of the Grenada Grenadines Yachting Guide, and developing a social media programme. Under the security segment, MAYAG has improved VHF operations at the Coastguard base, Police Headquarters and Hillsborough, and has worked towards Coconut Telegraph SSB Net Resumes instituting the “Marinewatch” scheme in conjunction with the Grenada Tourism You know “the season” is starting when the Coconuts come back!

The training provided certification courses and study guides for five skill areas (Diesel Engines, Gasoline Engines, Electrical, Systems and Composites). Using the guidance provided by MINF, Grenada will now be developing a three- year plan for marine and yachting training. The Grenada National Training Agency has already become part of the ABYC training network — The Marine League of Schools — and they will be assisting Grenada to develop its own standards based on ABYC standards. At its recent Annual General Meeting, MAYAG appointed a new Board of Directors. The board consists of Robin Swaisland, who has taken over as President; James Pascall, who retains the post of Vice President; Rosetta Weston is the new Treasurer and Danny Donelan remains Secretary. The other board members are Darren Turner, Dieter Burkhalter, Jason Fletcher and Nicholas George. The new board is looking forward to building on the success of previous years and keeping Grenada’s yachting industry growing and improving. Fee Confusion in Luperón There seems to be some confusion about what harbor fees visiting yachts should pay at Luperón, a popular cruisers’ stop on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. Reports indicate that private yachts have recently been asked to pay a fee that is usually required only from commercial vessels entering a commercial port (which Luperón is not).

  • RUMS of the CARIBBEAN the Sweet Heat of Caribbean Rum Is the Highlight of the New Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’S Lounge
    RUMS OF THE CARIBBEAN The sweet heat of Caribbean Rum is the highlight of the new Sugar Cane Rum Bar at Peter John’s Lounge. This new offering celebrates rums produced in Saint Lucia and throughout the Caribbean and gives guests an opportunity to try many for the first time and maybe even find a favorite to take home. Rum’s history is intertwined with Caribbean history. The industry got its start with sugar cane first brought to the West Indies by Christopher Columbus; and today’s Caribbean rums are enjoying a renaissance hundreds of years later. Coconut Bay’s award-winning premium selection includes Saint Lucia’s Chairman’s and Admiral Rodney, Guyana’s El Dorado, Trinidad & Tobago’s Angostura, Martinique’s Rhum Clément, and Doorly’s from Barbados. See the full – and growing – list here. The Caribbean Journal says, “It’s a wonderful, refreshing idea for the all-inclusive sector — and one that could turn this bar into a rum destination in its own right.” Rum list Brand Island Produced Marigot Bay St. Lucia Crystal Lime St. Lucia Marigot Crème de Coconut St. Lucia Marigot Crème de Banana St. Lucia Bounty Rum St. Lucia KWEYOL Spice Rum St. Lucia CHAIRMANS RESERVE RUM –SPICED St. Lucia AND RESERVE CALYSPO RUM Jamaica BRUGAL RUM-GOLD SPECAIL AND Jamaica RESERVE Crystal White St. Lucia Rum Toz Rum - St. Lucia White Toz – St. Lucia Gold Appleton – Special Jamaica Appleton – White Jamaica Appleton - Reserve Jamaica Appleton- Estate Jamaica Malibu RUM Jamaica COCKSPUR RUM, Barbados BLACK LABEL RUM Trinidad & Tobago ANGOSTURA RUM Trinidad & Tobago CAVALER RUM Trinidad & Tobago CURACAO RUM Curacao MYERS ORIGINAL DARK RUM Jamaica ANGOSTURA 1919 Trinidad & Tobago ELEMENTS EIGHT RUMS St.

  • Integrated Annual Report 2020-21
    2021 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2020/2021 "Blue like the colour of our planet, our oceans and the sky, which we strive to protect over time, as they nurture our terroirs and our people." The Earth is blue like an orange Never an error the words don't lie They don't give you any more to sing In the turn of kisses to understand The crazy and the loves She her kiss of alliance All the secrets all the smiles And what clothing of indulgence To believe her completely naked. The wasps bloom green The dawn passes round the neck A necklace of windows Of wings covering the leaves You have all the solar joys All the Sun above the Earth Above the paths of your beauty. Paul Eluard Translated by O.A. Ramos FOREWORD The challenging health situation of the 2020/2021 financial year has not dampened the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ambitions of Rémy Cointreau – quite the contrary. CSR is a long-standing priority for the Group and its exceptional brands, which pushed ahead with initiatives to promote biodiversity, the preservation of terroirs, the circular economy, and partner communities. The Group’s brands also played their part in managing the health crisis, notably by actively participating in the production of hand sanitizer. As in the previous year, the Group demonstrated its structural strength. Resilient to the unforeseen collapse in demand, it proved to be highly adaptable when the Chinese and US markets recovered. Despite the impact of the pandemic, it ended the year with positive organic growth in sales and significant growth in earnings.

  • Barbados, Bajan Civility in the Caribbean Sun
    Barbados, Bajan Civility in the Caribbean Sun By Lee Foster Travelers, primarily from the United States, Britain, and Canada, choose the island of Barbados in growing numbers. Visitors savor the warm and sunny weather, plus the white coral sand beaches. Fine dining on seafood occurs at landmark restaurants, such as The Cliff, and at upscale resorts, epitomized by The Crane. The island of Barbados ranks as an outpost of the British legacy in the Caribbean sun. It is the easternmost land mass in the Caribbean. The name Barbados came from early Portuguese navigators. They noted the strands of vegetation, or “beards,” hanging from the fig trees that dotted the shoreline of the island. The island became the “bearded” place. Attractions of Barbados: What to Do and See When venturing out from resorts, a tour of the island shows the solid British management of the place without interruption from 1624. Finally, Barbados finally declared independence in 1966. Barbados played a critical role in the American Revolution. An impressionable 19- year-old surveyor named George Washington visited here for six weeks in 1751. What he learned, mainly, was that England’s overriding interest was its wealth from sugar and slave trading in the West Indies. For this reason, he later evaluated that England would not strenuously oppose the breakaway of the mainland colonies. A visitor today can see the Changing of the Sentry, where British troops were housed. The ceremony takes place in front of the 1804 Main Guard House. Another appealing tour is a candlelight repast, called “Dinner with George Washington,” at the house the Washington family rented during George’s visit.
