A Caribbean Rogue Spotted In The Virgin Islands!
And this time it is not Captain Hollywood!

I have known a Rogue or two in the Caribbean, but apparently there has been a new one spotted in the Virgin Islands. Up until today, I thought Captain Hollywood was one of the most colorful Rogues I had met in a long time. He is the Captain/owner of Treazzures, a 60’ mono-hull that will take your breath away if you want a day sail or a week sail in the Virgin Islands. And, Hollywood is a one-of-a-kind character. In fact, I will be looking for the Rogue while I am attending the Virgin Islands Charter League boat show in St. Thomas at Yacht Haven Grande – November 7th – 11th . I will update you on what I discover.

I was told by one of the ubiquitous “unnamed sources” within Nissan that it is the launch of a cross-over SUV that is not quite ready to hit the mainland yet. But, he did say that the Rogue will take over the market share of the Toyota RAV-4 and the Honda CRV. So, your Caribbean Islands lifestyle detective is breaking the news right here. Nissan has even created a video game using the Rogue as a tool to play three amazing on-line games that will engage potential consumers to develop brand awareness before it hits the markets. ( I tried all three of the games, but I was a complete disaster at getting past Level 2. Let me know how far you get with this one. )

It is a dangerous thing to be anchored next to Captain Hollywood because the only result will be an all-night party. He is rock-star status. Last year my friends, Kevin and Suzanne, called me up and said they were on St. Thomas for a few days and could I recommend a sailing adventure they could arrange on very short notice. Well, my first call was to Captain Hollywood. You will have to check in with Kevin and Suzanne for their side of the story, but they can’t wait to sail with him again. (You may have seen Kevin on CNBC two months ago being interviewed about his new company, Bug! Realty.

Let me know if you get a peek at the latest “Rogue” hitting the islands – whether it is Captain Hollywood of the Treazzure or the new Nissan Rogue that is coming soon. I know you will fall in love with both of them.
