Roti + Ting = Delicious BVI Lunch!

  

 

The Caribbean offers a wide range of cuisine which is as diverse as the island chain is long with islands all offering their take on meat, fish, stews, soups and so forth.  Several food dishes have “legs” by which we mean you will find them almost everywhere.  One of favorite dishes or meals are rotis.  Brought to the Caribbean by indentured workers from India the roti is a stew wrapped in an Indian flat bread.  It looks a little like a large burrito.  A roti comprises potatoes, garbanzo beans, vegetables and usually chicken or mutton.  Veggie rotis are common.  Rotis can be spicey or not.  They are usually accompanied with chutney.  Compliment with a cold Red Stripe or Ting.

Between a rock and a heavenly place

  

 

The BVI’s are a gorgeous collection of Caribbean islands and cays.  Beaches large & small are etched into the coasts.  One favorite beach is Valley Trunk Bay, which is located between The Baths and Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda’s South West end.  About the length of two football fields, Valley Trunk is anchored on either end by giant boulders.  The perfectly white sand is thick like unrefined sugar and the water is as clear as glass.  Towering coconut trees line the top of the beach.  There are no moorings off Valley Trunk so it’s easy to anchor.  Swim ashore or jump on a SUP for a leisurely paddle down to The Baths.

Time to Unwind!

 

 

Everyone has to unwind and a trip to the spa at Scrub Island is about as relaxing as it gets.  Chill out on the deck next to the infinity pool and take in the view of Great Caminoe.  Just below the pool is a tiny point break that offers a great longboard or stand-up paddle wave to ride if the swell is good.  Come to chill out and get a great massage from Emily or Angie then flop down in a comfy chair in the cool enclosed lounge, nibble on some coconut chips and rehydrate with a cold glass of water.  The Scrub Island Spa is a 5-minute walk from the resorts awesome  waterslide enhanced pools, cool bars and restaurants.  Contact the spa at elancaster@mainsailhotels.com.

HIHO Antigua Fun Cup


 

Gusty & shifty wind conditions greeted racers at the inaugural 2011 HIHO Antigua Fun Cup regatta in Falmouth, Antigua.  Raced in new PICO dinghies, the event saw two-man teams comprising adult & junior racers battle it out over 6-races on the 2-day regatta schedule.  Junior racers then raced singlehandedly in two divisions: 12 and under and 13-18 years old.  Antiguan’s Rocco & Paolo Falcone aced the doublehanded division with Karen Porch and Tanner Esty in 2nd.  BVI racers Sam & Andy Morrell took 3rd.  Sam Morrell was equal first in the under-12 singlehanded fleet but took 2nd to Rocco Falcone when the tie was broken.  Antiguan Hosea Williams took the older singlehanded division.  The inaugural event saw competitors from Antigua, the BVI’s, Guadeloupe, France and New York.  Superb racing was complimented by meals hosted by the Antigua Yacht Club and a great dinner at Cloggy’s restaurant.  “We had two days of great racing,” said HIHO head honcho Andy Morrell.  “We loved the grownup/kid format, plus Antigua is a favorite island to visit.”
