The area is considered as one of BVI’s “Natures Little Secrets” and is a playground for recreational activities such as swimming, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding, windsurfing, kite boarding etc. The Blunder Bay area from the Anguilla Point to Little Leverick Bay and the buoyed channel between North Sound and Eustatia Sound is a NO WAKE ZONE and has SPEED LIMIT 5 Knots. It has been brought to our attention that many vessels in transit ignore these restrictions and proceed at very high speed. The wake created by these large vessels and speeding powerboats is eroding the beaches and making water based recreational activities dangerous. It is important to note that the vessels MUST transit the area at such a speed that NO WAKE is generated by them. This means that larger vessels with higher draught and displacement such as cargo ships, barges and mega yachts may have to proceed at a speed lower than 5 Knots in order to create NO WAKE during their passage.

Byer3 INTRODUCTION There has been a recent surge of interest in the biogeography of archipelagoes owing to a reinterpretation of classical concepts of evolution of insular populations, factors controlling numbers of species on islands, and the dynamics of inter-island dispersal. The literature on these subjects is rapidly accumulating; general reviews are presented by Mayr (1963) , and Baker and Stebbins (1965) . Carlquist (1965, 1974), Preston (1962 a, b), ~ac~rthurand Wilson (1963, 1967) , MacArthur et al. (1973) , Hamilton and Rubinoff (1963, 1967), Hamilton et al.

  • Breeding Seabirds in the British Virgin Islands

Broderick1, Shannon Gore2, Geoff Hilton3, Nancy K. Woodfield4, Brendan J.

Despite being a well-known taxonomic group there is still a paucity of data for most seabird species on many of the Caribbean islands. We carried out detailed surveys of the seabird breeding populations in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) during the breeding seasons of 2004 and 2005. We surveyed 42 different islands and cays over the 2 yr with 60 and 63% of these having at least one breeding seabird species in 2004 and 2005, respectively. A total of 15 spe- cies of breeding seabird was recorded, one of which, the gull-billed tern Sterna nilotica, was pre- viously thought to have been extirpated. Two species, roseate tern Sterna dougallii and magnificent frigatebird Fregata magnificens, had globally significant colonies in the BVI and a further 8 species had a regionally significant population in the BVI. We discuss our findings within a global and regional conservation context and provide recommendations for ensuring the continued existence of BVI seabird populations.

  • Welcome Packet Post Irma
    www.villasvirgingorda.com Tel: (284) 540-8002 Welcome to Virgin Gorda! Congratulations! You are among the chosen few who have stumbled upon Nature’s Little Secret, 8 square miles of paradise! Villas Virgin Gorda has been operating on Virgin Gorda for over 14 years. We specialize in the property management of the beautiful homes in our care and in vacation rentals of the properties. We are extremely honored that you have chosen us to provide you with a home during your holiday on Virgin Gorda and we are committed to making sure you are comfortable during your stay. We love everything about Virgin Gorda! We love sailing up to the island and the vista of the mountains rising out of the sea. Of course, the beaches, sailing, and snorkeling are amazing and The Baths are a must visit, but we have also enjoyed exploring the old Copper Mine ruins, hiking the peaks, and lingering over a painkiller at Hog Heaven while enjoying the views of the boats in the North Sound. The local population is made up of amazingly generous and happy people, we challenge you not to make a friend for life on VG! Also take time to enjoy the natural beauty of the island: note the hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower, the lizards running up a wall or tree, the goats hopping on the boulders by the beach, and the chickens leading their chicks through the trees along the shore or just down the main road. Stargazing is another favorite pastime with skies dark enough to see thousands of celestial bodies, shooting stars, and the occasional passing satellite.

  • Dawg Tales February-March 2015
    Thanksgiving in the BVIs - November 2014. Dawg Tales February-March 2015 Dawg Tales Dedicated to all Salty Dawgs......... Salty Dawg Rally Founding Sponsors Bitter End Yacht Club November In The Sun Words from the Helm Welcome to Dawg Tales, the official newsletter of the Salty Dawg Rally! Nancy O'Malley, Editor and Publisher of Dawg Tales along with input from the staff and you, will produce the newsletter every other month to keep you up to date on all the latest news from and about the Dawgs and the Rally! The Rally has grown beyond our wildest dreams!! It is because of the support of all of you and all our Sponsors that have helped us achieve this remarkable adventure. Without you, we wouldn't be here today. Never did we think that sailing to the Caribbean with a few friends would turn into the largest Rally in the United States. Over the past 3 1/2 years, 340 boats have participated in the Fall and Spring Rallies. Sponsors took notice. Benefits grew. A membership was formed. Our first newsletter is issued and we are working on a database to streamline the workload. And this is just the beginning. This year, in addition to the Seminars in Annapolis and Hampton, we will be adding a day of Seminars in Newport, Wednesday, September 16, the day before the opening of the Newport International Boat Show. Even Salty Dawgs can learn new tricks. Over the past few years we learned the importance of more than one form of communication, the value of extra fuel on board, as evidenced by this Fall's Rally, the fun of Happy Hours, and much more.
