  • May 1, 2016, Lazy Bones Travelogue, Virgin Islands And
    May 1, 2016 Lazy Bones Update: British Virgin Islands (BVI’s), U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico Our last update left off with us setting sail on March 14th from St Maarten, the most northerly of the Leeward Islands, to the British Virgin Islands (BVI’s). Our destination was the island of Virgin Gorda, 84 miles northwest. We left St. Maarten at 5:30 AM and experienced rain squalls most of the day, but we averaged over eight knots and even hit 10.2 knots! We arrived at Virgin Gorda North Sound at 3:30 PM and anchored off Prickly Pear Island. The next morning we took the dinghy across the sound to Gun Creek and cleared in with customs. We came back to Lazy Bones and motor-sailed over to the Bitter End Yacht Club (BEYC), anchored outside the mooring field, and went ashore for lunch. The BEYC is a unique nautical resort that caters to all yachtsmen. They have a small marina, several restaurants, friendly bars, a small grocery store, bungalows, Wi-Fi, a pool, and much more. It’s a great place to hang out, have some drinks, and enjoy a nice meal. At 4:30 we took the dinghy over to Saba Rock for happy hour. This tiny island was owned by Bert Kilbride, a big enthusiast for SCUBA diving, back in the fifties. In the sixties Bert opened the Pirates Pub, set up a few moorings, and Saba Rock became the local sailors’ hangout. In 1997, he sold out to a developer who built an amazing resort on this tiny piece of rock.

Such assistance should be a key service to our members and therefore we are instigating access through a special link on the AYH website. Many of us will have started research in yacht club records and club libraries, which are often haphazard and incomplete. We have now started the process of listing significant yachting research resources with their locations, distinctive features, and comments on how accessible they are, and we invite our members to tell us about their Half-model of Peggy Bawn, G.L.

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.

The 6-Metre class made its North American debut on these waters in 1915 during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, and we are thrilled to celebrate 101 years of “elegance & performance” on the Bay. An extraordinary team has worked hard to make this regatta one for the ages. We acknowledge Commodore Kimball Livingston, Club General Manager JJ West, and Director of Race Lynn Lynch for their standard-setting levels of Let your financial dreamsset sail. hospitality and regatta management. With both Classic and Modern “ruled” 6-Metres participating in as many as nine races in the days to come, consistent performance promises to outweigh luck, a missed tide line or a fortuitous wind shift.

    JUST ENOUGH bCHARTERl u • BROKEewaterRAGE • TRAINING • CREW • MANAGEMENT As a yacht charter destination, the BVIs are almost impossible to beat, with over 50 pretty islands scattered like lush gems across the turquoise sea. The islands are located within a short distance of each other, making cruising effortless, and the BVIs offer a multitude of stunning anchorages as well as glamorous superyacht marinas. Providing excellent shelter and calm, crystal clear seas, the BVIs also receive the Caribbean trade winds, making the archipelago a famously good sailing ground as well as a great place for thrilling water sports like kitesurfing. On a BVIs yacht charter, there is something for everyone. Dive the wreck of the HMS Rhone off Salt Beach, one of the great dives of the Caribbean, or snorkel through the Virgin Gorda Baths, where huge granite boulders create a glimmering playground of sapphire lagoons and ethereal grottos. Hike up to Virgin Gorda Peak for breath-taking views of the archipelago, or horse ride along a beach in Tortola, coconuts washing up on the shore. Strap on your dive tank and make your way along the unforgettable Wreck Alley, where airplanes and boats have been submerged for divers, or just drink coconuts and read books in a hammock in dreamy Trunk Bay. The BVIs are incredibly, deeply peaceful, with no Jet Skis allowed to break the tranquil vibe of lapping sea and afternoon breezes. On the glorious coral atoll of Anegada, explore the 16 miles of powder soft beaches, and watch flamingos stalk across the flats, bright pink against sand and sky.
