For those that are going to be in the BVI for the Thanksgiving Holiday, there will be several restaurants serving up turkey with all the trimmings. For those in the West End of Tortola, there is a fun "pot luck" dinner event at the Jolly Roger. The restaurant provides the turkeys and if you can bring a dish to add to the party, that would be appreciated!
