The aims of the programme were that students would - Gain an understanding of the marine heritage of the islands, grow in confidence on and in the water aboard a traditional sailboat and swimming/ snorkelling respectively; Become more confident communicators, effective leaders and willing team members; Gather knowledge and skills that will improve readiness for employment within the marine tourism sector or other service industries; Broaden their knowledge of marine environmental issues and strengthen their commitment to conservation of St Lucia s natural resources. Three students put themselves forward and were accepted on to the programme through a partnership with Corinth Secondary School namely; Lance Jean (16), Prince Stanislas (15) and Jn Pierre Prudent (14).

3 cont d from Page 1 classroom for the week of the programme. When starting Jus Sail husband and wife team, James and Pepsi Crockett, planned that a portion of time would be given over to teaching local students about the heritage of these local vessels and the opportunities that the yachting and marine sectors have to offer young local people on the island. They now intend that having successfully completed this first programme that it will become an annual event with increased participation and, with sufficient funding, possibly a year long mentorship component to ensure student participants gain longer term support in their focus on career progression. The likelihood of growing the programme is made all the more possible by the generous sponsorship in terms of financial assistance and staff time of IGY Rodney Bay Marina who came aboard as platinum sponsors shortly before the start of this initial programme. As such, on behalf of the students Jus Sail would like to thank Adam Foster, General Manager of IGY Rodney Bay Marina and Boat Yard for his support of the programme and all the staff and contractors who shared their experience and time with the students over the week. Mr Foster commented: IGY Rodney Bay Marina is proud to sponsor this new, ground breaking sail and marine industry training program. This sort of specialized training has been lacking in the past and we firmly believe that through education Saint Lucia can grow to become one of the most reputable Islands for yachtsmen and woman to visit, strengthening the tourism product as a whole. The fact that this training is being provided on board a traditional Carriacou sloop to people that may not have been able to access such training makes it all the more special in our eyes. We wish the students all the very best in completing the course outline and becoming members of the marine and tourism industry. Jus Sail can only agree believing wholeheartedly that there is room for a much greater focus upon training a new generation of employees and entrepreneurs within the marine sector to allow St Lucia to increase its regional position of influence in this important economic sector.

4 CREW HAVING FUN AT IGY RODNEY BAY MARINA We arrived in St Lucia on a Friday night. It was 28th January. We came from Curacao and after few days at sea we could hear the music coming from the right side of the bay while we were dropping anchor. We were curious about it but never imagined back then that we were going to be able to enjoy the Friday night street party and also experience St Lucia way of life so much. During this 6 months in this Caribbean paradise we did trips to the country side, rode around the island discovering its beautiful beaches, waterfalls and villages, climbed the Petit Piton, horse back ride at the beach, snorkelled, had fun at the IGY Marina Crew Olympics with other boats crew, had really good dinners and nights out. We watch the J24 races in the marina every Thursday and cheer for Pete s boat since he is taking part in the races every week. Afterwards there is always a gathering at Board Walk which is great fun! We were here for Jazz Festival in May and it was real nice to be part of it. We went to the concerts at Pigeon Island and enjoyed the performance of The Gipsy Kings, Ziggy Marley and Diana Ross among so many other artists. When July arrived we knew that the Carnival events were going to be good so we had lots of fun with friends and enjoyed the 2 days of soca music in Castries. It s been a pleasant year for us in St. Lucia because when docked in IGY Rodney Bay Marina we have a lot of facilities and we are close to the most lively area in the island. We have good food, good music, pool games, relaxing afternoons at the pool, lots of interesting people around..it feels just like home! The crew: Pete (Captain), Andrea (Chef), Pol (First Mate) and Vicky (Chief Stewardess).
