Caribbean Wallpaper Wednesday: My Mystery Shipwreck in the Bahia de Fajardo

Sunken Off Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Guess what?
We don’t know everything there is to know about the Caribbean!
I can easily see why it might seem like we do. Every day we share posts on subjects near and dear to our hearts that may be new to you. Ever sipped Stallion Milk Stout? Dove into Dominica’s Champagne Reef? Soaked fruits for months on end for some amazing black cake? Braved Antione Rivers Rum? Have you ever even heard of, much less been to, the village of Toco on Trinidad? (Well, don’t worry, we’ve never been there either!)
Sure, as native West Indians, we have a unique, insider perspective to the cultural and natural wonders of the Caribbean, but I’ll let you in on a little secret: we’re picking some of this up as we go!

Martinique’s Yole Boat Race Takes Carnival to the High Seas

Craig Guillot

Boat races are a dime a dozen in the Caribbean with virtually every destination hosting a regatta at some point each year. Many of these races have their own special local charms and traditions that make them well worthwhile for culturally curious travelers. As for the others, well, let’s just say that if you want to rock a silly Capt. Stubing hat, you’ll fit right in.
So, where should you go for a uniquely Caribbean boat race experience? For me, the French Caribbean island of Martinique, home to the annual Tour des Yoles Rondes (Yole Boat Race), is the best choice.
The photo above gives you some idea of why.
