Do you drink your cistern water? Or want to drink your cistern water?

Filtering and purifying your cistern water can save you thousands of dollars over time and reduce your plastic use and exposure!

Cisterns in the Virgin Islands are very different from cisterns stateside, as they are not closed systems and are open in many ways to contaminants, leaf debris, and animals. However, you can filter and purify your water to make it potable with a three-stage filtration system!

Congratulations to this Coral Bay sailor!

Strong Winds, Strong Character: Anais Craig Demonstrates Outstanding Sportsmanship at CAC Games!

The first day of sailing for our ISCA sailors brought challenging conditions, with strong winds, gusts of 30 knots, and rough seas making for a demanding start to the 2026 CAC Games sailing competition.

During one of the races, Team ISV's Anais Craig demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship by putting safety first. After spotting another sailor in need of assistance, she sailed off course to alert a nearby media boat before continuing on to finish her race. Her quick thinking, selflessness, and commitment to the safety of a fellow competitor are a true reflection of the values of our sport.

Well done, Anais! We are proud of your excellent sportsmanship and the example you set both on and off the water.

Our sailors are currently heading into Day 3 of competition. Follow the latest results at: https://results-jcc2026.org/ #/discipline/SAL/schedule/daily/2026-08-02
