Perhaps new recruits for a Burnt House Hill Productions Summer of 2012 Cliff Diving shoot? 🙂
After the dives, shooting and a slight drizzle the boys headed West along South Shore on their mopeds with the camera still rolling. At the bottom of Barnes corner, slippery roads (and a possible oil patch?) caused a minor wipe out for Riz and consequentially Higgs bringing up the rear! Was the “deck” staged?
Who knows!? But on the bright side; looks like Riz didn’t catch a dose of “Bermuda Road Rash” and the “Don’t worry. Be happy” vid is able to finish on the light note that it started. 🙂

There’s nothing like a day at the ballpark. Or in Bermuda’s case, a day at the cricket field. This civilized British sport, which has been the national pastime since 1844, qualified Bermuda for the World Cup in 2007.
Each year cricket fever takes over the island for the two-day Cup Match, a fierce battle between the two leading clubs. Shops are closed, personal days are called in and nearly everyone on the island watches rival batsmen and bowlers duke it out in their pristinely starched whites.
From April through September you’ll be able to take in a weekend match at various pitches around town with a bit more elbow room, but no less enthusiasm. (For most Bermudans, cricket remains their first unrivaled love.) Plan on arriving early and be prepared for a festive all-day affair. The host grounds have a special section reserved for visitors and provide complimentary cricket guides for first-time spectators. Feel free to ask questions and be prepared to walk away a cricket expert.
It’s standard for locals to stake out a position in advance, bringing with them picnics, drinks and even music. Bigger matches are always a good excuse for a mini-holiday, where socializing over mussel pies and delicious rum swizzles (in lieu of peanuts and Cracker Jacks) makes for a street party-style atmosphere.

The camera ran for three years as Rockport Marine built the wood composite vessel SPIRIT OF BERMUDA.
Rockport Marine rockportmarine.com
Spirit of Bermuda bermudasloop.org
The Spirit of Bermuda is a modern-built Bermuda sloop. She is a replica of a Royal Navy Sloop-of-war, depicted in a well-known 1831 painting.
Unlike the original vessel, which would have been built primarily from wood, the Spirit of Bermuda was manufactured from modern materials.
“The vessel utilizes modern wood composite construction (seven layers of wood and epoxy), it has carbon fiber spars, outside ballast, and up-to-date systems to ensure longevity, performance and comfort. She was designed by Langan Design Associates of Newport, Rhode Island.” rockportmarine.com/boat_details
She was built in the US for the charitable Bermuda Sloop Foundation (BSF) to serve as a sail training ship for Bermuda’s youths.
Bermuda sloops were built with up to three masts, although purists might insist the term sloop be applied only to single-masted vessels. The single masted ships, with their huge sails, and the tremendous wind energy they harnessed, were demanding to sail, and required large, experienced crews. The Royal Navy favoured multi-masted versions as it was perennially short of sailors, at the end of the Eighteenth Century, and such crewmembers as it had, particularly in the Western Atlantic (given the continuing wars with France for control of Europe), received insufficient training. The longer decks of the multi-masted vessels also had the advantage of allowing more guns to be carried.
The Bermuda Sloop Foundation chose a three-masted design for one of the reasons the navy had: it was easier to handle (and less dangerous) for the inexperienced youths who would crew her. A design with Bermuda rig was also favoured, although the majority of Bermuda sloops historically built probably were fitted with Gaff rig.
The final design, naval architecture and engineering of the vessel was accomplished in Newport, Rhode Island by Langan Design Associates, headed at the time by company founder Bill Langan.
The BSF was founded in 1996 by Malcolm Kirkland, Alan Burland and Jay Kempe. During the next eight years, the Foundation grew as donations were sought, and the design decided upon. Bermudian singer-songwriter Heather Nova recorded the single Sailing to raise funds for the project. Rockport Marine, in Rockport, Maine, was contracted to build the ship in 2004. The Spirit of Bermuda was completed in August, 2006, and sailed to Bermuda that October. Since then she has operated locally and internationally on sail training cruises.

Sally Bassett was an enslaved mixed-race woman from Bermuda. She was declared guilty and burned at the stake in June 1730 for the attempted murder by poisoning of her slaveholder masters. She always claimed her innocence. Her notoriety has influenced Bermudian history and cultural heritage. (click image for more info)
