Welcome to ... Paradise Found: Sailing the BVI
Episode 5: NATURE'S LITTLE SECRETS
A Jobson
Sailing film produced for Sunsail
Sunsail,a
major chartering company, wanted to showcase it's British Virgin Islands fleet. So it ran a contest among its former charter customers. The
winners, a family and two couples, would cruise free while staring in a
promotional video produced and narrated by sailing legend Gary Jobson--not a
bad deal!
In Episode
5, the Morrisons and Rigglers visit Jost VanDyke and
take in some laid back BVI shopping and culture. "No shoes, no shirt, no
problem" reads one inviting sign at a local shop. For the inquisitive visitor,
the BVI lives up to its motto: Nature's Little Secrets."
Early
mariners from Venezuela were the first to visit the BVIs around the year
900AD. Chris Columbus came ashore on his second voyage in 1493. In the
seventeenth century, Pirates found safe haven in the BVI's many hidden
coves. The Spanish and Dutch were the first Europeans to occupy the BVI
followed by the British who exported sugar, molasses and rum. Today, the
locals still fish and farm, but also participate in the new vacation
economy.
