  • 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.

  • IP Owner's Q & A, Sorted X Subject
    Sorted by Subject Island Packet Owner's Q & A Report on Tenders Barnacle Rings On Avon Inflatable From: Clark Chalifour Received: 3/12/2002 11:55:18 AM Last season, I left my Avon inflatable in the water too long and ended up with many barnacles on its bottom. I removed the barnacles with a black Scotch pad (the type used on grills), but rings from the barnacles remain. I am hesitant to use products intended for removing barnacle rings from fiberglass hulls on a fabric inflatable. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions with respect to removing such rings from an inflatable? Clark Chalifour WINDHOVER IP-27-198 From: Don Berger Received: 3/12/2002 1:17:11 PM WM sells dilute hydrochloric acid under some obvious brand name I can't recall just now and it is advertized as safe. More important, I've used it and it works great. Hypalon and PVC are both impervious to HCL; my only reservation had been to keep it away from the seams (which isn't that difficult) as I am not sure how it would affect the glue. Don From: Sherri & Glen Wells Received: 3/13/2002 7:33:35 AM You probably won't like my method but it works. Deflate the dinghy and roll the PVC or Hapalon with your fingers as to fracture and dislodge the rings. Sometimes a plastic scraper used for snow removal can assist. I also grew a healthy crop. After this tedious effort of Cirripedia removal a priorety was established. Get the dink out of the water!

  • Tourism Research in the British Virgin Islands
    Prairie Perspectives 89 Chasing Twenty-first Century smokestacks: tourism research in the British Virgin Islands John Everitt, Department of Geography, Brandon University Abstract: “Chasing Smokestacks” has become well-known if not complimentary terminology to describe the actions of villages, towns, regions, and countries wanting instant economic development, often at almost any cost. In the past the smokestack referred to was a conventional industry – such as Maple Leaf Pork or J.R. Simplot (fertilizer production) in Brandon, or oil refineries and alumina smelters in St. Thomas (U.S. Virgin Islands). The contemporary smokestack for many places, such as the British Virgin Islands, is tourism — ironically stereotypified by the large smoke-stacked cruise ships of the Holland America Line or Cunard ships such as the Queen Mary 2. Although mass tourism cruise ships are only one part of the BVI tourist puzzle, they are seen to be important both financially and symbolically and are accepted at almost any cost. But tourism in the BVI is much more than what many feel are ‘down-market’ cruise ships and short-stay beach tourists. The BVI are also aiming for ‘up-market visitors’ such as those who own or rent yachts, dive and/or snorkel, as well as snowbirds who stay for greater lengths of time and expats who settle-in for several years and contribute significantly both to the economy and society of the Islands. Many of the former stay on their (or rented) yachts, buy from local businesses, and frequent locals restaurants and bars The snowbirds and expats typically live in large, expensive homes or villas that are keeping the construction industry at full stretch.
