Even though he is not from here and you all will call him island man, he always takes part in anything involving fishing culture in the BVIs and will continue to,while he is able to do so.
So he has no problem in sharing his experience.
Remember that he did not learn his trade in the BVIs. He came here with it. He also knows alot about repairing boats. He will teach those that interesting and willing to learn.
