FROM THE PUBLISHER
Welcome to this issue of Caribbean World magazine which is now in its 30th year of publication and brings you an intoxicating mix of sunshine, sea and sexy ladies! You will already have seen on your cover some beautiful international models, who are among the world's richest, who all share a passion for the Caribbean islands and who are featured in the issue of the magazine. Equally sexy are the lovely Bond Girls who appeared in the 007 movies that were filmed in the region, and are profiled in this issue. And we present a glimpse of the racy life of Porfirio Rubirosa -the Dominican Republic's great 50s playboy of the western world, who was a tireless presence at chic nightspots and watering holes, a keen racing driver and polo player.
Our special Sailing & Yachting supplement which appears in this issue covers a range of subjects including chartering a boat to sailing around the islands and top ten anchorages. Cruising continues to be a popular Caribbean activity for thousands of travellers and in this issue we meet five real life couples who talk about the places they have visited and the ships that have taken them there.
The islands are a paradise for weddings and honeymoons, and are a huge draw for celebrities who choose to tie the know in style in the sun. We profile some of the celebrity weddings that have taken place there.
Many well-known singers, actors and models can trace their heritage back to the islands. In this issue we feature some of those famous faces with their roots in the Caribbean.
Owning a private island in the Caribbean is something most people dream about, and David Copperfield has made the magic real on his own Bahamian paradise. We profile his islands of Musha Cay in this issue.
Our Homes & Living section carries a special feature focusing on the opportunities for people who want to retire to the Caribbean and highlights the advantages of buying property there.
We also feature a profile of Arthur Meade, one of the UK's most celebrated male models and interior designers.
We hope you enjoy reading this issue of Caribbean World and hope you'll visit our newly re-launched website for a fully interactive experience of five sites in one - which features a new looks as colourful and exciting as the Caribbean itself.
