Representatives from the St Maarten
literary scene turned out in numbers at the Yacht Club on November 3 to cast a
critical eye over Budget Marine’s latest opus. The 12th edition of the
catalogue, available in both book and CD Rom format, is more coveted round
these parts than the latest Harry Potter,
with a lot more magic, too. The bumper tome is produced and printed on St
Maarten.
Store managers from across the Caribbean
were on hand to field questions on theme, character and antifouling. In
speeches, Sir Robbie Ferron paid tribute to the production team, as well as Sir
Bobby Velasquez, whom he generously credited with starting the island’s
marine industry some thirty years ago.
Catalogue copies are free and are available in Budget Stores across the
Caribbean.
