Captains (in white) for the tenth annual Black Boaters Summit pose with participants on a wharf in the British Virgin Islands. At its inception in 1997, the summit shoved off with only ten boats and about a hundred participants. Mixon called the 2007 summit a logistical challenge, with enough boats to require leaving from three different marinas. Photograph by Dawn Kish |
