 Who do we appreciate? HORIZON!

Captain Dan shopping for the party.

   A few weeks ago, we experienced a flurry of dock parties to celebrate the Christmas holiday here at Nanny Cay Marina for three nights in a row. They were pretty laid back affairs with coolers of beer and burgers or pizza and chips.  So we organized and hosted a dock party last night to show our appreciation for every little thing the Horizon Yacht Charter Crew has done for us & Exit Strategy.
   The party was leisurely and we enjoyed visiting with these hard working individuals who we have come to consider friends.  We learned that a number of them left their families (including wives and children) and came to the BVI to work because there were more opportunities for employment that would net them a much higher income than they could get in their homeland.  A few are from the USA and others are from Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Canada.  A cab driver (from St. Vincent) explained, "People come here to do the jobs that the BVI belongers don't want to do.  The belongers only want to work in government or business offices."
