Once again I was able to enter Team PREDATOR in the Leverick Bay, BVI poker run this past Memorial weekend. CNN's Erin Burnett was on the docks at Scrubb Island, our first card stop. I guess the sight of Richard Branson and the overwhelming number of boats inspired her to do an article on the poker run which ran on Tuesday evening. She seemed to like Team PREDATOR but confused me with her talk about “Caddy wings etc” LOL Must get her on the boat next year. Here is a link to her coverage.

Also the local newspaper “ The BVI Beacon” put a photographer up in a helicopter and sent me the link. Some of the pictures with boat / sky / water color are amazing and some are just plain crazy funny, the local jet ferry loaded up following us around, the bathtub boat etc. Enjoy.

What type boat was Branson on? was it one of those British rigid=inflatables with big h.p they always seem to try and sell at Lauderdale show?

Yes, Chuck they were RIB's. Not sure of the make but there are pics in Jay's picture thread.

Bob

Great video.
Truly postcard material pictures.
Still searching for the adjective to describe some of the paint jobs.
What an amazing location and event.

Hmmmm.......video won't play for me, just sound.

Great pix of the boat and some crew members too bad she didnt come over to the boat i would have bought her a beer

Nort, just go to CNN home page and type in "Richard Branson" in search feature at top right and it will come up.

It's something with my PC. The commercial in the beginning is fine, then when her piece comes on i just get the sound and "optimizing video" on the screen.

Here you go, Chuck:
