The kick start we’ve been anticipating.
Now, we enter the high season – a period of time when snowbirds settle into their preferred locations, restaurants and bars fill up with visitors only too happy to make new acquaintances, and cruise liner guests disembark from their vast vessels to thoroughly enjoy our beaches.
This month also gifts us with two huge events: We are holding the first BVI Wine & Food Festival – a new and dynamic event to these islands, hosted at Nanny Cay Marina and Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina through November 1-3. This international affair has gained an inquisitive and excited audience, who look forward to relishing the talents of the world’s most famous wine and spirits producers, and culinary professionals. For those interested in learning about cuisine and further, what the BVI has to offer, this show is intended to gratify and set the foundation for a successful annual occasion.
We also have the much anticipated 32nd annual BVI Charter Yacht show from Nov 7-10, hosted at Nanny Cay Marina; this renowned occasion is where charter yacht crews network and promote themselves to brokers and the community. The event has attracted widespread popularity and is a poignant landmark in the BVI calendar.
Amid the excitement that November is bringing, this issue takes a novel approach with the two industries our magazine caters to: An overview of property ownership on the private community island Great Camanoe—where incredible value unites with fantastic lifestyle—presents the exclusive perspective of outer island living with its range of alluring benefits.
We also look at an aspect of the BVI that has contributed greatly to its fame in highlighting the grand luxury of crewed charter yachts. The perfect combination of sailing and service is exemplified in crewed charters Lolalita and Soterion and indeed the story relayed by resident Kelly Bos in utilising a captained boat.
Additionally, our magazine presents renowned interior designer and artist Debi Carson, who reveals her new line of design for children’s rooms, while aLG Books has proudly released its newest title Building a Virgin Islands Sloop: The Story of Sea Moon…it’s been a very, very busy month.
Here’s to the high season and an even busier November.
