Columbus Day isn't just a day where you run to the bank, only to remember that it's closed. Neither is it a day well celebrated. But for those of us who are interested in the history of the Caribbean, we know that he's a figure much discussed in the West Indies over afternoon cocktails. I am still trying to figure out how in the world he managed to decide that Virgin Gorda looked like a fat lady reclining! Either Columbus didn't have enough rum, OR he had way to much of it! There are a lot of interesting facts about Columbus, such as he was the first to charter a yacht in the Virgin Islands! He really wasn't the first person to discover America; but he was the first European. He was a little mixed up believing that he had found the Far East; but he did find the number one cruising area of the world! The truth is that he ushered in a new era of exploration and conquest in the West.
For us, Columbus Day marks on the calendar the day we bring the luggage down from our attic at our home in Franklin, TN. Just like previous explorers & entrepreneurs: "We cannot wait to get going to see what the wonderful Caribbean has in store for us this season! We love our jobs!"
