Jim who works at Marina Cay in the BVI's has been missing now for two days. He and his wife Allison used to work at The Soggy Dollar/Sandcastle on Jost so many of you may have met them over the years. Yesterday VISAR and or the Coast Guard found his boat off of Jost overturned. They still haven't found any sign of him. The BVI papers say that the search will continue today. I have heard Coast Guard annoucements about the search. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and searchers. The wind and seas have been up the last week or so and it doesn't look like we are going to get much of a break in them.
There is a thread on Travel Talk Online about it. You can read it here http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=bvi&Number=790191&page=0&fpart=1
Also take minute to look at VISAR web page. These guys go the extra mile as volunteers and they do take donations for equipment and supplies. http://www.visar.org/ They came out and took one of our charter quests to the hospital last week after she became ill and by all acounts did a great job.

I read the comments on the link and he seems like a wonderful person -- my heart goes out to his family. You can also see one of the reasons why you decided to move to the VI - a sense of community that is not found in many places today
