This is special month for us and for you.
We are tallying up the results of the Virgin Islands Property and Yacht Readers’ Choice Awards as you pick up this issue. At the end of the month, Nanny Cay Resort, Marina & Beach will be the proud location to host the finale of this momentous occasion. Look forward to a social evening of celebration as we reveal the best of the best in a number of categories encompassing the BVI’s people, places, and services.

Mark Wollner—well known BVI resident and previous business owner—says a touching farewell in his bold, final journal entry detailing his long-fought battle against cancer; a true inspiration to us all.

On that note…
Wishing you enjoyment of the LAND, SEA, and LIFE of the Virgin Islands
