It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day!
International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate (that is, in English with a stereotypical West Country accent).
In English-speaking popular culture, the modern pirate stereotype owes its attributes mostly to the imagined tradition of the 18th-century Caribbean pirate sailing off the Spanish Main and to such celebrated 20th-century depictions as Captain Hook and his crew in the theatrical and film versions of J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, Robert Newton’s portrayal of Long John Silver in the 1950 film adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel Treasure Island, and various adaptations of the Middle Eastern pirate, Sinbad the Sailor. In these and countless other books, films, and legends, pirates are portrayed as “swashbucklers” and “plunderers”. They are shown on ships, often wearing eyepatches or peg legs, having a parrot perched on their shoulder, speaking in a West Country accent, and saying phrases like “Arr, matey” and “Avast, me hearty”. Pirates have retained their image through pirate-themed tourist attractions, film, toys, books and plays.
So, in honor of today, Drink up me hearties, Yo Ho! Let’s toast a dram of Rhum and go chase that horizon! Yaaaarrrr!

🍔It’s National Cheeseburger Day! 🍔
And there’s nothing better than a great burger after some awesome dives in the BVI!
Did you know that the Cheeseburger in Paradise has BVI roots?
Here’s the story from the man himself, Jimmy Buffett...
“The myth of the cheeseburger in paradise goes back to a long trip on my first boat, the Euphoria. We had run into some very rough weather crossing the Mona Passage between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico, and broke our new bowsprit. The ice in our box had melted and we were doing the canned-food-and-peanut-butter diet. The vision of a piping hot cheeseburger kept popping into my mind. We limped up the Sir Francis Drake Channel and into Road Town on the island of Tortola where a brand new marina and bar sat at the end of our dock like a mirage. We secured the boat, kissed the ground and headed to the restaurant. To our amazement we were offered a menu that featured an American cheeseburger and piña coladas…we gave particular instructions to the waiter on how we wanted them cooked, and what we wanted on them—to which very little attention was paid. It didn’t matter. The overdone burgers on the burned, toast buns tasted like manna from Heaven, for they were the realization of my fantasy burgers on the trip. That’s the true story. I’ve heard other people and places claim that I stopped or cooked in their restaurants but that is the way it happened.”
So as it turns out, Buffett did eat a cheeseburger—a burned one at an unnamed spot on Tortola. That means there’s no way to steer after all, which is oddly comforting. The cheeseburger in paradise is a state of mind, and if you’re eating one, you’ll know it.
From my own personal research, that place was Village Cay Marina in Roadtown. I’ve had a few burgers there, and ALL over the BVI, but one of my favorites is at @bathturtlechezbamboo on Virgin Gorda. The burger up at @nova_oilnutbay at Oil Nut Bay Marina Village is pretty darn good too!
What’s your favorite burger in the BVI? Let us know in the comments and Happy Cheeseburger Day!!!
