Buffett sighting in Anegada?

Post by barefoot'n »

A friend of mine just got back from a sailing trip and said that Jimmy performed while his group was there. Anegada is sort of an out-island of the British Virgin Islands and relatively remote and unpopulated. Not that far from St. Barts, tho, and it does have an air landing strip. Anybody else hear about this or is my friend just pulling my leg? Or was the resort owner just pulling their collective legs and there was nobody there who knew Buffett well enough to know better? Here are his exact words (note spelling of Buffett..)

"Thought we should let you know that while our Flotilla was on Anegada, Jimmy Buffet serenaded them after dinner. He did about ten songs, most of his (our) favourites.

Lawrence, the proprietor was under sworn secrecy not to tell anyone that Jimmy was going to be there, a deal that Lawrence had previously made with Jimmy. We understand that Jimmy drops by Anegada occasionally and this time it was timed perfectly for our arrival there."

I would have been on this trip but I just started a new job and don't have any holidays accumulated yet, so I'll be totally p*** if these friends of mine saw Bubba on the beach with a group of 50 or so... :cry:

This is good news. It's nice to know that he's still doing his thing like that. He must still feel pretty young to travel so much.

The Caribbean is truly Jimmy's "Castle"........lucky guy! :pirate:

And, yes, I'm glad he's still flying around and doing these kind of imtimate concerts, too. :D

Been to Anegada 3 times, beautiful piece of the BVI. Nice to know that maybe, just maybe, some time I'm lucky enough to be there that JB might show up, guitar in hand....... [smilie=gt-happyup.gif]

Well don't that beat all. I've been to Anegada many times too and I'm just kicking myself that this is the one time I missed going on our annual trip! Some great pics at that bvipirate.com site. Funny how nobody in the background behind Buffett is smiling. If I had been there you still couldn't wipe the grin off my face!

I just knew somebody at BN could confirm/deny my friend's sighting. Shoulda thought of googling Buffett Anegada myself.

Anonymous report on traveltalkonline.com that JB played at Bar Baz on St. Barts last night.

I guess I just need to spend Jan and Feb bumming around the islands.

BTW, I've killed several hours at work the past 2 days reading and looking at pics on bvipirate.com. It's snowing like crazy here, but their pics kept me warm. 8)

Oh, Lordy! I was thinking Jimmy may have showed up before minute 2:30. :) :)

IF he did...I hope he had fun.
