I’m still unpacking after spending 3 weeks in the islands! Although my husband hates to shop, we did enjoy looking at locally made crafts, jewelry and artwork. Caribbean craftspeople bring a rich and colorful blend of African, Native American and European influences to their handiwork – a combination that reflects the intriguing makeup of their culture. Unfortunately, I was limited in luggage space or I would have our house filled with reminders of our time spent in paradise. Anyway, here are some tips to make your shopping experience easier. First, regardless of where you shop, most vendors will accept dollars or euros, even if their island may have their own currency. To be on the safe side, however, you may want to exchange some money into East Caribbean dollars – the official currency of Anguilla, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. Second, in most the established shops, bargaining is not welcome and may even be considered insulting, although some vendors may offer a discount for cash rather than credit card payments. You might cautiously give it a shot at open-air markets or with street vendors. Remember, however, that profits from selling homegrown or handmade items are likely to be the craftsperson’s only income, so prices are not usually set artificially high. Finally, not all island sales clerks will know all the rules about duty limits and taxes. Find out before leaving home what you will be allowed to bring back and at what cost. By doing your research before shopping, you will avoid the risk of losing your purchase at customs, incurring a fine or being detained. Whatever you buy, a shopping trip to the Caribbean can be a wonderful chance to discover the striking uniqueness of this region. - DonnaClick for more information on booking a Charter Yacht vacation.

Once again the BVI Music Festival is in high gear this weekend at Cane Garden Bay, where the sound of music meets the sounds of nature. Come enjoy world renowned artists at this beach front venue. The people of the Caribbean are extremely innovative when it comes to music, and they will tune up almost anything to make a rhythm. Whether it is reggae, calypso, salsa, zouk or soca, there is a different sound for almost every island. Regardless of the type, it is lively, fast and full of joy. Caribbean music can be about social commentary or protest, but it is mostly about dancing. Although you can always find a place for a spontaneous Jump-Up, a number of organized music festivals have been created all over the Caribbean. Designed for broad appeal, they include everything from Jazz and Blues Festivals to Reggae Festivals and even an opera season in Barbados. Attending a music festival is a not to be missed activity if you are visiting the islands. In fact, they are so fabulous, it is even worth scheduling your charter vacation around these events. Not only can you enjoy the music – often by world class performers – but you also have the opportunity to be in the company of local islanders and engage with them in a unique way with the common passion for music.

Aimed at encouraging more people to discover the magic of the underwater world, the BVI Wreck Week (May 17-24) was a great success. The week included a treasure hunt, PADI Project Aware Reef and Beach Clean Up Day, and several wreck diving certification courses. Open to all divers of all ages, the event concluded with a big party on Cooper Island that included a pumpkin carving contest and a beach BBQ. There are more than 100 dive sites in the BVI, and the underwater vistas are among the world’s most breathtaking. Dives off the Sir Frances Drake Channel includes ledges, caves, canyons, wrecks and sponge-encrusted walls. Although there are many wrecks to dive, two of the more popular sites include The Chikuzen and The Rhone. The Chikuzen lies at a depth of 75’ six miles north of Beef Island. The ship was sunk in 1981. The full 246’ length of this once-refrigerated vessel is teeming with fish of every description, including big rays, horse-eyed jacks, barracudas and more. The wreck of the RMS Rhone is a royal mail steam packet that sunk off of Salt Island during a hurricane. It lies well-preserved in two halves on a sandy bottom. Her steel wreckage is home to many species of fish and encrusting corals. The bow section, laying in about 80’ of water, reveals the coral encrusted cargo hold and other interior chambers. The wreckage field reveals the ship’s foremast complete with crow’s nest and the bow spirit lying in the sand. The stern section contains the ship’s engine, prop shaft and enormous propellers. Part of the BVI National Parks Trust, this is the perfect two tank dive. Click iff you would like to learn more diving in the Caribbean, including arranging rendezvous diving on your charter.
