Bomba Shack Full Moon Party

October 2006 is looking to be the start of a busy time in the BVI with many businesses jump-starting themselves for the upcoming season. Seems that many are reopening their doors earlier and earlier every year after the August Festival, which signals an end to the traditional season. I for one would like to see the BVI go year-round and change the old hat tradition of literally closing down for months at a time during the summer.

What's happening is plenty. October 6 is the 30th anniversary for the Bomba Shack, with the full moon party slated to be a big one. Out in Trellis Bay, Jeremy has some great things going on out there also for the fireball full moon party.

The Willy T
Finish line for the "Virgins Cup"

The watersports schedule is busy nearly every weekend in October, starting out with the Royal British Virgin Islands Yacht Clubs "Willy T Virgins Cup", where the women are in charge of the helm in this fun race which finishes at Willy "T". The race starts on the 14th outside of Road Harbour. The following weekend is the ever-popular Lowell Wheatley Fishing Tournament in Anegada, one not to miss! Foxy's Cat Fight catamaran race in Jost Van Dyke, is slated for the 28th, with parties galore. Bitter End is hosting the 20th Pro-am regatta starting on the twenty-eighth for eight days of racing with some of the world's best sailors attending.

Many restaurants and hotels are reopening their doors this month also. Among the early openers are the Jolly Roger, Sugar Mill, Tamarind Club, CoCo Plums, and Eclipse are just a few. Airline prices are being slashed so come on down and enjoy all that the BVI has to offer!
