I am curious, are their are any unique ceremonies, rituals, customs that are special to the BVI's for christening new craft? Something you have done to make it festive? On my list is to have champagne and ready when we arrive but other than that I am looking to TTOL for ideas about the first sail. Thanks! Karen

We are going on our 7th year and no major incidents <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
