TEAM ANTIGUA
T
here are a number of ways to cross the Atlantic to Antigua. Sensible people travel by 747’s, and arrive 8 hours later. More adventurous – and wealthy – ones might take a luxury cruise and arrive a week later. Slower and even more adventurous people sail across, hoping for friendly winds to sweep them along. But the most difficult, challenging, arduous and loooooong way, is to ROW! There was serious fun in the Jump Studio in September when Antigua’s Island Girls joined Zoë for morning coffee to talk about why on earth they have chosen to row 3000 miles from Europe to Nelson’s Dockyard in English Harbour. They came to the studio straight from the gym, and everyone tried to be serious, but that proved a challenge too far; it was laughter and dancing all the way.

ISLAND GIRLS
The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge covers more than 3000 Miles starting from San Sebastian in La Gomera, Canary Islands, to our own Nelson’s Dockyard, Antigua. Billed as “The World’s Toughest Row”, the annual race begins in early December, with 33 teams participating from around the world this year. The Island Girls is Antigua’s third team. Antigua’s first team, Team Wadadli, broke world records as the oldest team ever to row the Atlantic, with Pete Smith now in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest man ever to row this or any ocean. Last year, Team Antigua, led by Eli Fuller, came in second, after only a month’s rowing. All pretty awesome. Continued page 16...

...continued from page 13 THIS year, we have five ladies, young, attractive and fired with an enthusiasm that will help drive them across. Elvira Bell, Christal Clashing, Samara Emmanuel, Kevinia Francis and Junella King have been training since February. They have set their sights on becoming the best women’s team, a podium finish and to raise significant sums for their charity, Cottage of Hope. There are six girls’ teams competing this year and one single girl from Australia. Mad, quite mad! The Cottage of Hope charity supports girls who are abused, neglected or orphaned, offering homes and support. Since inception, the organization has housed 36 girls and one boy, and has helped scores more. Money raised by the Island Girls will enable them to offer support to girls who are making the often traumatic move from a home setting to living on their own.

Eli Fuller is training and advising the girls, bringing his rowing prowess and experience from last year’s Talisker Challenge to help them prepare for the task ahead. He is confident they will achieve their ambition. For their first international rowing experience, he anticipated that they would take approximately 20 hours to row the 60 miles from Antigua to St. Kitts. Really? Team Antigua Island Girls made it in just over 14 hours. “The longest period should be 26 hours and the shortest between 15 to 16, and they did it in almost world record pace,” said Eli. “If the team can row like that across the Atlantic for 30 days, they’ll be winners!” Continued page 18...

...continued from page 17 Even though they don’t have a lot of ocean experience like the other teams they are gaining it rapidly and have already outdone the men’s team by rowing around Antigua - a challenge Eli and Co. didn’t feel equal to tackling last year. The race organisers stipulate that the teams must log 72 miles before the race – it doesn’t sound much preparation for a 3000 mile row. Not enough, say the Island Girls who have already logged well over 300! The biggest challenge so far for the girls has proved to be seasickness. And there’s 3000 miles to go! They are confident that after a few days of abject misery, they will get over it. That sounds fun then.
The team tried to talk seriously about the problems they expect. The worst they could come up with at the moment is the food; Cristal said the food has wonderfully appetizing names: “We can choose from chicken tikka masala, piri-piri chicken, beef stroganoff. The trouble is that they all actually taste like cardboard!” “The hot food tastes better,” added Junella, “but we don’t want to take time to heat things up, it’s all about keeping up our speed.” And of course, ablutions won’t be easy, but probably not something we want to think about.

They are having lots of fun, but they haven’t lost sight of the importance of the challenge they have undertaken; the level of training is testament to that. They know that at the moment, they don’t really know WHAT the biggest challenges will be, it’s that “we don’t know what we don’t know” moment. The weather in the Atlantic can be kind all the way; but it can also rock the boat; last year storms actually overturned some of them. While they are upbeat, laid back and cool, they will only find out just what they don’t know once they are out there; girls against the Atlantic. In our turn, we will find out when they storm back to Antigua and join us again at Jump. There are five determined ladies, but one of them will be left behind as support. This is not yet decided, but someone has to be at base camp. Whoever it is will be joining Jump regularly to keep us updated on the girls’ progress. Despite having come straight from training and going on to do yet more, the girls didn’t stop laughing and the studio turned into a bit of a disco. The Jump DJs joined in enthusiastically. Everyone was pretty blown away at what they’ve already achieved, and absolutely awestruck by the magnitude of what they are about to do. “What, no rest stops?” Gasped one of the guys. Nope! 3000 miles non-stop. Now, the girls are fired up and raring to go. Jump Radio will be following them every stroke of the way. They set off from La Gomera in December; when they row into Nelson’s Dockyard some time in January or early February, they’ll still be singing and joking. The eyes of the world will be on the Atlantic and on our girls. A huge crowd will be there to greet them, whatever time of day or night they arrive and what a party there will be! Be there!

the event does not lend it to the previous venue of Independence Ave. The food fair is more like a food extravaganza, arranged in rows with avenue signs named after Antiguan heroes such as Prince Klass avenue. Each avenue is lined on both sides with food stalls exhibiting the national traditional dishes such as ducana, bambula, fungie, shad and saltfish, but also a cornucopia of delicious delights that are hard to find‌.lobster, shell fish, black and white pudding, fritters made of conchs, saltfish and titiwii, sugar cakes, sweets, coconut drops, jams and natural juices to wash them all down.

...continued from page 23 The seafood variety was unbelievable, from fried snappers to grilled stuffed shellfish to seafood chowders made with cockles, mussels, shrimp, conchs and lobster! Curry crab and dumplings, lobster thermidor and shrimp kebabs were everywhere! The Barbuda stall gave us a taste of manicoo, deer water and land turtle as well. Breadfruits roasting, season rice sharing, saltfish being sautĂŠed with onions and tomatoes and fungi turning at every corner it was a sight to behold and a symphony of smells. The tamarind stew, sugar cakes and bambula were the stars of the after meal sweets and the hand churned ice cream in every flavour, including avocado! Drinks in every colour and combination, butternut punch, raspberry, golden apple and even a sneak peek of Christmas sorrel. The day was filled with too many options to pick so most families purchased and packed bags to take away their loot.

The food fair is also a colourful display of national pride as the food servers and the patrons don their national colours, some in the traditional national dress madras and white pinafore as designed by Heather Doram, starched and pressed spotless from head to toe, others use the red gold and green madrass to make bow ties, vests, hats, jewellery and dresses in all manner of styles. A sight for all to see and a full day of family fun and eating great food, from the traditional to the decadent. One of the most beautiful displays of togetherness and national pride, the food fair is a must for all families every year.

Wendy Williams Shades Spice Over Skin Bleaching. Spice broke the internet earlier this week when she debuts a photo that suggested that she bleached her beautiful dark skin. Fortunately for all of us who are die-hard fans of the dancehall queen, it was a marketing ploy for her powerful new single “Black Hypocrisy.” Even after learning that she didn’t lighten her skin, Wendy Williams still went on her show the next day to drop some shade. Right after Spice came out with the promo image for her new single “Black Hypocrisy,” Wendy Williams dedicated a whole segment of her show discussing the two dancehall hit-makers skin bleaching. “[Love and Hip Hop Atlanta] there is a girl on there her name is Spice, I don’t know who that is,” Wendy Williams said while elaborating that she doesn’t have a clue who the dancehall diva is. “They’re saying that she is bleaching her skin, but I do think that this is a publicity stunt because skin bleaching takes a really long time.” Source: www.urbanislandz.com
