The
British Virgin Islands are a group of 52 islands, mostly of volcanic origin, located 18.4
degrees above the equator. The islands were originally inhabited by the Arawak Indians. The
Arawaks were reputed to have been a peaceful, fun-loving lot, which may explain why they
were eventually conquered by the warring Carib nation, though it is not clear what became of the Caribs.  Today the BVI still hold a wealth of unburied treasure from sunlit beaches to kaleidoscope coloured reefs. An idyllic location for sailing, SCUBA or skin diving, fishing, surfing, mountain biking, visiting national parks or simply relaxing on the beach, all of which can be arranged for you by the Club. And while you are visiting, take a look in nearby Trellis Bay, home of Boardsailing BVI and the Trellis Bay Cyber Cafe, for a windsurfing lesson and lunch at the cafe. |

During the high season of buccaneering the
BVI was a virtual pirate's playground, said to have been the setting for Robert Louis
Stevenson's Treasure Island. Also frequented by the likes of Black Sam Bellamy, Jost
Van Dyke and Gustav Wilmerding, rumour has it that the land still holds buried treasure
left undiscovered due to lack of maps where X marks the spot.
