One of Island Harbour’s visiting residents, Dr. Ellis Lorenzo Webster, was among the hundreds of persons who were at Festival Del Mar. He not only enjoyed himself but spoke highly about the event.
“This is great,” he commented. “It is Festival Del Mar and you can’t beat this. I am so happy that the committee came up with idea twelve years ago, and the event is still going strong. It makes Island Harbour the capital of the island right now. This is where all the action is happening.
“There is a cross-section of Anguilla, and there are also many tourists. I think this revitalises Island Harbour. It provides the energy that we really need at this time to keep Anguilla going. It also shows that we all can live and work together as one people.
“With the boat racing, the food and the music, the people are having a grand old time. That’s what I like about Festival Del Mar.
“Being able to fellowship with my own people is a great experience. It is in Island Harbour where I was born and grew up. It is just my desire to be here with my people and to celebrate. We are celebrating life. It is Easter of course, but we are also celebrating the sea and everything else there is.”
Dr. Webster, an Ear, Nose and Throat surgeon, has his main practice is in Palm Beach, Florida, where he and his family reside; but he runs a visiting comprehensive medical service in Anguilla at the Mason Complex on the Stoney Ground Road.
He is also the Leader of the Anguilla United Movement.
