Friday, February 27, Bitter End Yacht Club and Resort, one of the most well-known and leading resorts of BVI, celebrated its 40th Anniversary of fruitful years.
The luminous Friday night was filled with laughter and smiles, overflowing champagne, stunning fireworks and dance numbers as Lashing Dogs offered their best performance in celebration and revelry of the gained years of prosperity.
The respected Ralph T. O’Neal OBE, who has attained the reputation of being one of the territory’s father and longest chaired politician, shared his thoughts and insights as he witnessed how the land of Bitter End Yacht Club and Resort was passed down from farmers to investors who utilized the land that eventually became successful and beneficial to all.
Several influential and powerful entities were also seen at the celebration such as Governor John S. Duncan OBE, Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable D. Orlando Smith, and one of the owners of the resort Mr Richard Hokins who extended their best wishes of more prosperous years to come for the resort.
Governor Duncan gave a speech on that Friday night saying, “I was particularly interested to come and see what is going on at Bitter End and see the heritage and the vision of the people who founded this resort. [It was] environmentally friendly before it was [fashionable to be] environmentally friendly and green and continuing that vision, the way the family continued, that is really remarkable and I commend you very much for doing that.”
While Natural Resources and Labour Dr the Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering also shared his past experiences at the resort when he visited it for multiple times, “I was hanging out with a fellow and we spent the day here (back in late 1970s) and where we were sitting on the dock there waiting for the boat and I looked down and I saw the sun beginning to go down, I said, now I understand it, I hate to leave this place and that is why they call it the Bitter End, because you really don’t want to leave.”
“The Premier has outlined a vision for this country which I share and Governor, the people of this country are not lucky, they are tremendously blessed and a blessing is not something that you do something to inherit; it is given unto you. The critical component is what you do with that blessing,” Hon Pickering added.
The night ended with glee for everyone including the old and new staff, visitors from different places, the most influential individuals and owners of Bitter End. Everyone wished and hoped for more years of outstanding service, remarkable experience and prosperity.
