Keep out! Virgin Gordians shut out of the Yacht Harbour?
It was today May 1, 2017 that residents woke up to find that they could not park near the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour as it was chained off. In other words ‘keep out’.
Parking in that area adjacent to the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour on the sister island has been a nightmare as persons have to walk for quite a distance to enter the property. The Yacht Harbour told our newsroom in a telephone conversation that they “will be providing a shuttle and they are working with all relevant agencies, police, port authority officials and their private security guards to address the situation.”
Controversial Manager of the Yacht Harbour Eric Hubber could not be reached for comments; however, a staffer asked our newsroom to Email him. Mr Hubber has been seen by residents walking and at other times driving around in a golf cart ensuring that his security guards enforce the shut out rules.
VG Apartheid?
One resident told our newsroom that she has witnessed “whites going in without any trouble or questioning; however, others particularly black residents are asked what is the purpose of them going into the area. The Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour has commercial businesses such as banks and general stores.
Repairs to the main harbour at St Thomas Bay Jetty on Virgin Gorda for this month have forced Speedy’s Ferry Service to depart from the B Dock at the Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour.
We will bring you more details as they unfold.
The Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbour is owned by the BVI Investment Club.

Change is inevitable, embrace it and make sure it is in your favour. Not object for the sake of objecting
Sounds just the IC. They would quicker get someone from outside to do their dirty work for them. The love of money is the root of all evil. The IC will never get enough money. The more they have the more they want. Greedy ...tards
After all, we deserve better treatment from our elected representatives who are members of the investment club. Do you think they will have the gall to come to the electorate and ask them for their votes in the next general election? I hope not. Despite how they sugar coat their tongues, they should not be allowed to continue to disrespect the people. This is tantamount to the Apartheid system is South Africa.
the hole tin tun up now!!! Wh***s been doing it for years......

First they cut the beautiful trees down making the place look terrible; then failed to negotiate with Bucks Market causing Bucks to move out; then they kicked out Bath & Turtle and Rendezvous Bar. The VG shopping centre is like walking into a morgue. It is depressing. Our town centre is no longer at the Yacht Harbour. In fact, thanks to the Investment Club, we no longer have a town centre.
Put the above together with the road work we have had to endure for months to stop water draining into the Yacht Harbour property, and now we have our jetty closed.
It is too much! The Virgin Gorda community is angry and upset
Don't worry. When the karma comes back to kick the evil doers in the a$$, it's not gonna be good.
