If anyone was in the North Sound this weekend, I'm sure you had a chance to see some of the superyachts racing in the YCCS Loro Piana racing.

This event brings millions of dollars into the local economy through provisioning, fuel, transport, lodging etc. A 150' yacht will do a Bucket style race with as many as 35 people on board

A good friend of mine was flying from Miami to photograph as a guest on one of the boats. He is one of the top yachting photographers.

The very wise immigration official decided that a journalist should not be welcome and promptly put him on a plane back to San Juan.

I suppose the tourism in the BVI is so busy that they don't want these boats and crews back?

Good news is, he took a plane to St Barth and is relaxing there.

Be careful what you tell the power hungry officials
