Vacation with a difference

How do I find a vacation with a difference?
Do you want a vacation that is not the same hotel-resort on the beach affair for 10 days?
Yes it is good to find your own beach, but I can show you 8 of your own beaches in 1 week.
Do you wish for cuisine fit for kings, queens, presidents and statesmen?
Would you like to be impressed by the service around you?
Is it body temperature warm water to swim in that you are after, and yes the water has to be crystal clear?
Must crystal clear water come with white beaches and encrusted with coconut palms?
Do you demand to be where no one else can go, and yet also demand to be around the jet-setting vacationers?
Would you also wish to be in paradise, a word used far too much, but where Mother Nature did her best work?
You not want to fly hours and hours to get to your destination? Read More >>

Scuba Diving in the Virgin Islands.

In 1997 a magazine came out with a gorgeous "In Depth Guide for Scuba Divers in the BVI". This guide was 8 inches by 11.5 inches, all in glossy color, consisting of six pages plus a front and back cover. At the time I got hold of 3 and quickly sent them out to scuba divers and could never get any more. The entire book had gone out of print. Everything I did to get copies of this dive book failed. I called England, the USA, and anywhere else I could find who could point me towards getting fresh copies. The printer said it was firmly out of print. Reluctantly, I gave up looking for this scuba guide.

In 2002, I was at a little shop in the BVI, and I noticed a shelf with 84 of these (old) gorgeous scuba dive booklets. I purchased all 84 copies, and the salesman gentleman thought I was daft. Today is May 2012, and I count that I do have 18 of these scuba booklets still in our office. Yes, I have been giving these booklets to the scuba fanatics, so if you want one for your trip, kindly ask for one. It is the best scuba dive guide I have seen. We do have other scuba dive guides, but none has impressed me more than that old one. All the script below comes directly from that dive book. Read More >>

Snorkelling Tips

Take full advantage of the warm water (almost the same temperature as your body), crystal clear tropical Caribbean Sea. No silver shock when you enter the water, it is simply inviting you to come-on-in and have fun. Your luxury yacht vacations provide the best way to get 100 percent out of your charter. This adventure is far too important for you to have an agent compromise your vacation so select the best person for the job no matter what size your yacht 60-600 feet. It is your broker who provides information to make all your yacht charters better than the rest.

The Annual 14 day EMANCIPATION FESTIVAL in the British Virgin Islands

By Jan Critchley of BVI fame.

Two weeks each summer the British Virgin Islands come alive with one of the hottest festivals in the Caribbean. Commencing July 22 and continuing until August 5, the BVI explodes with a carnival atmosphere of Parades, performances, dancing, horse racing, parties, boat races and many other special events. Tents are set up with rides for children and many other happy sports to have fun with.

The major attraction is the festival parade which is held on the first Monday of August. Hundreds of people line the road way to watch the decorated Floats, Soca Bands all vying for “best float” all floats are supported by colorful energetic troupes dancing their way to the festival Village. Jumbies on stilts wonder in and around them. This is an electric parade of gorgeous costumes, smiling faces, lots of dancing and music as both parade participants and the crowd jump to the beat.

The Pelican Brief

While Gaile and I were chartering in the Caribbean learning all the anchorages for our guests, we used to take these free week-ends with friends and get lost in paradise just chilling out. Gaile (my wife of 39 years) is one of those wonderful gentle folk who people, dogs, cats and birds, are attracted to. When we were in the Virgin Islands those single girls would gravitate to "mother" Gaile, so there was forever a bunch of single girls hanging around our catamaran and the safety of "Mother" Gaile.
