New to Anguilla?

The competition will showcase the efforts of six body builders, five male and one female. Otavia Fleming, Patrick Carty, Peter Vasilis, Joseph Pradel, Donny Smith and Amanda Richardson are pushing their bodies to the limits in anticipation of the event. (We suspect that Amanda, being the only competitor in the female segment might win hands down as no other contender braved the challenge!).

You may have glimpsed Flight Deck Restaurant as you fly
into
Wallblake Airport...
a tropical yellow and blue wooden building
sitting up on the mound just south-east of the airport.
If you're lucky enough to arrive on a Friday night you will
receive a musical welcome as the place comes alive with vibrant
sounds of reggae with High Tension band 9:00pm until 1:00am.
A young energetic couple Andy and Shirlene Goddard operate the restaurant. Andy doubles as a singer, his main calling, and entertains his guests as he accompanies the various bands that perform. It's a convenient spot to hang out or have lunch upon arrival or before you leave. You can have quick lunches like burgers and clubs or sample a tasty Creole or West Indian dish. See the flying fish dinner pictured to the right. Specials include curried goat, stewed pork, goatwater and souse.
Flight Deck looks forward to some festive evenings at Carnival time and will feature live music all weekend long during the tourist season.
Opening hours: From 10am until. Telephone 264-497-2835.
Directions: starting from the airport parking lot, take the only exit and turn left, you will immediately come upon the Flight Deck on the hill on your right.

Father's Day was drawing near and I was tired of giving the
usual colognes and shirts.
Luckily I discovered a new, dynamic business place that had a novel gift idea - a mouse pad with a photo of your choice printed on it. I took in a family photo just before noon and a few hours later I collected the mouse pad with the image of my son and husband smiling up at me. They also can transfer prints onto puzzles for children, so you can get creative with memorabilia and gift items.
Rainbow Graphics offers a wide range of printing and design services. Three young Anguillians, Claude Smith (pictured right), Joseph Vanterpool and Charmaine Sasso pooled their talents to create this company which opened in April 2001. Rainbow Graphics designs and prints T-shirts, signs, license plates, vehicle dressings, boat signs and a range of business necessities such as business cards, fliers and letterheads. I was impressed by their reproductions of art work on various mediums including photo gloss paper, canvas and vinyl. Currently they can produce prints as large as 3 feet by 100 feet, which is useful for making banners.
They promise their customers a return turnaround time of 48 hours for various printing jobs, but they usually complete work within 24 hours. Smith indicated that they are aiming to "take printing and graphics to another level in Anguilla." These young entrepreneurs have goals to expand and enhance their service offering in tandem with their clients' needs.

June 4th, 2001 was Whit Monday, a national holiday.
As with most national
holidays there was a boat race. This one was to occur at Mead's Bay.
The official race was scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. Around 1:00 pm
the 12 boats lined up and sailed a practice run. Upon returning from
their practice run many of the boats crews furiously made last minute
adjustments, hoping to gain the edge needed to win the race.
At 3:00 pm the warning shot sounded indicating 10 minutes to the start of the race. Crew members dropped the plates of chicken & ribs they were enjoying and licking their fingers, ran to their boats.
With all the boats facing shore, the start gun went off. Crew members worked furiously to get anchors up and boats turned around. Side by side, the boats set off, each trying to find the best wind advantage.
The boats remained in a close pack as they headed off into the horizon and around Dog Island.
Spectators watched until the boats became mere specks against the horizon.
As the boats circled Dog Island and headed back to shore there was a distinct definition of leaders.
As the boats drew closer to shore, spectators began cheering and encouraging their favourites.
The race ended with some controversy. Apparently, shortly before the boats reached the shores of Mead's Bay two separate collisions occurred jeopardizing the chances of four of the boats.
The winner of the race was Satellite. Congratulations to Satellite and her crew.
