    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.

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.

Fish traps, Artificial Fish Reefs and Fish Attracting Devices have been deployed around the Virgin Islands. Mariners should exercise caution when transiting the area. This would avoid fish traps getting lost and engaging in “ghost fishing” and go a long way in fisheries conservation. General Fishing activities are on the increase in the waters surrounding the Virgin Islands especially to the North of Tortola and Jost Van Dyke. When navigating in coastal waters of the Virgin Islands, Mariners should exercise caution in areas where fishing vessels may operate. Many of these fishing vessels use trolling lines which frequently extend to a considerable distance from the vessel and may be difficult to see. Also the shoal banks to the North of Tortola are frequently used to set fish traps and lobster pots in season. Mariners should give a wide berth to these shoals to avoid entanglement with the fishing gear. Additionally artificial reefs have been constructed in various locations that may not be suitable for surface navigation or anchoring. Further, Fish Attracting Devices (FAD’s) have been placed around Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda and Anegada Islands.
