their families,"
explains Diane Rice from Red Sail Sports
Hawaii.
Additionally, we're proud to have participated
in a series of Hawaii
community events that were sponsored by the
resorts along the Big
Island's Kohala Coast. Working together to help
one another, we all
really got behind these worthwhile
fundraisers.

Island Food Bank.
The Orchid at Mauna Lani sponsored the Island's
United Way

"Shipwreck City" Project Gets the Green Light
Our own Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman
Operations Manager, Rod McDowall,
also holds the auspicious title as President of
the Cayman Islands Tourism
Association (CITA). For the past two years, CITA
has been working with the
Cayman Government to direct funds towards their
brainchild - the "Shipwreck
City" project. It would involve sinking five
ships in the waters around
Grand Cayman and Little Cayman. Nancy Romanica,
CITA Watersports
Director and Shipwreck City Project Manager
said, "In addition to
providing a very popular underwater attraction
for our visitors, shipwrecks also
offer great opportunities for scientific studies
of artificial reef development,
fish colonization and bio-diversity studies.
Already, a number of very reputable
scientific research units have expressed their
interest in working with the
Cayman Islands to push forward the border of
knowledge for marine
research and conservation."
The Hon. McKeeva Bush, Leader of Government
Business and Minister for
Tourism, Environment, Development and Commerce
just announced that in
2003, the Cayman Islands' government will
provide funds to kick start
the "Shipwreck City" project. The Minister is in
contact with the United
Kingdom Ministry of Defense to secure a British
war ship with historic
connections to the Caribbean as Shipwreck City's
first potential vessel.
The Hon. McKeeva Bush concluded, "there is no
better year than 2003 to
inaugurate Shipwreck City, especially with
sinking a British ship as a
monument signifying our historic links to the
United Kingdom. With the
commencement of this project during our
quincentennial anniversary year,
we are celebrating our past, our present and
most importantly, our
successful future."
