One of our favorite people in the BVIs is Michael Beans, but he is so much more than a one-man pirate band who hosts Happy Arrrrr! at Robb and Rodie White's old house on top of Marina Cay.
Beans is also a humanitarian philathropist, as he donates his time and efforts to help the people of Isle La Vache, Haiti (who helped him a long, long time ago). Currently he is raising money to build them a new school. While at the same time he entertains us every Mon - Thu with pirate songs, quick humor, conch-shell-blowing contests, free rum, and the best way to spend the two hours between 5:30 and 7:30 pm!
We always have a great time, and everyone we have brought up the hill has enjoyed it as well, young and old!
For more information about Beans and his charity, visit his website at http://www.beansmusic.com/. This last photo is the beautiful sunrise over Virgin Gorda with Marina Cay and Beans' ferrocement ketch in the foreground.
Think aye fixed the posting problem (by switching to Safari instead of Firefox)? Didn't have to deal with no Tier 3 IT monkeys. Happy Arrrrrr, indeed.
