Band Aid for Haiti

February 5, 2010

I’d like to invite all the BVI-based readers out there to the Band Aid for Haiti concert at Cedar International School tonight at 7 p.m. The kids promise great music, good food and hula dancing.

Rum, Racing and Roti

April 4, 2009

Racing in the BVI Spring Regatta kicked off yesterday and I had a front row seat (my balcony). My last regatta as a sailor was quite a few years ago racing with an all-girl crew on Judy Hamill’s Galena. We didn’t get any bullets but we sure had fun.
