Essential BVI reading....,
By Stephen D. Wiley (Evergreen, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunfun Calypso (Paperback)
So I'm sailing along the leeshore of Cooper Island with our Skipper from a Tradewinds charter and begin discussing the business opportunities available in the BVI's. He tells me that he's written a fictional book touching on the experiences of foreigners who have attempted to do just that. His name was Julian Putney and he just so happened to have a copy on hand. I read it almost non-stop and was immediately asking about the sequel. I'm told it's coming. If you're looking for a hilarious and insightful story about the modern day BVI's, read this book. He has also written the definitive "Drinking Man's Guide to the BVI", and a wonderfully rich historical short story, "The Virgin's Treasure Isle".

Sunfun Calypso,
By John c. Balzer (Southwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunfun Calypso (Paperback)
I purchased this book in the BVI at North Sound. My friend and I were sailing for a week to get our bareboat rating. Our instructor was Julian Putley, the books author. He had mentionedhis book and when I saw it in the store, I had to have a copy. I can tell you that it may be fiction but there is a lot of truth about the BVI, it's history and people, told in a story format. I enjoyed reading the book and recommend it to future visitors and those that have already visited the BVI.

Sun, fun and adventure in the Islands!,
By
This review is from: Sunfun Calypso (Paperback)
Julian Putley has done a remarkable job of capturing the essence of a trip to the Islands in this great book while keeping the reader entertained with twists and turns on every page. If you have never been to the BVI or just spend your days dreaming of such a trip, this book should be required reading. For those of you lucky enough to have spent time in the Islands, you will recognize so many of the people, places and customs that you'll find yourself with a huge smile on your face and you'll start itching to go back. All in all, this is a great little adventure written by someone who knows and loves his Islands.
