The Pusser's Round Tortola Race , sponsored by the BVI Yacht Club and Pusser's Rum will be held on November 20. A plethora of parties and social events are planned to celebrate their safe arrival. And finally it's not a race, but it does involve boats. The annual Charter Yacht Society Boat show will be held at Village Cay Marina from November 6 to 9. Charter brokers from around the world will be on hand to view many of the B.V.I.'s most luxurious crewed charter yachts.
Shorter tours are available.
Carib Indians Jacon Fredericks and John Francis, who participated in the canoe's construction, are often on hand to guide the tours. Tours also include viewing of a video showing the construction and parts of the Gli Gli's 1997 expedition. Mr. Dick-Read said from 12,000 to 15,000 Carib Indians are thought to still live in the Caribbean region, ranging from Guyana and Venezuela in South America up to Dominica. Its initial three-month expedition lasted from May to August of 1997 and included a voyage from Dominica to Guyana. Along the way, the voyagers sought out the remaining Carib Indians on the various islands and in the Orinoco River Delta to introduce the expedition to them and learn from their collective cultural knowledge.
