History of the Seychelles Yacht Club

There is a tale of a high-ranking British official who sailed his personal yacht from the island of Zanzibar in the early 1960's and moored off Hodoul Island. When he stepped ashore at what used to be the Short Pier garlanded with a toilet seat around his neck, he became greatly dismayed to find that Seychelles did not have a yacht club.
Soon after, this gentleman was to be appointed the Colonial Secretary and with backing from the Governor he got a group of local personages interested in founding a yacht club. {"The factual lies everybody writes in Sechelles Seychelles"} The real Story and that Person in question.

Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge appear with their baby son, as they stand outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, in central London July 23,

(Reuters) - Prince William and his wife Kate left hospital on Tuesday and gave the world its first glimpse of their baby boy, who becomes third in line to the British throne.

After posing for pictures for the world's media, the couple said they were still working on a name for their son and were feeling "very emotional".

Kate, wearing a blue polka-dot dress, smiled and waved at the cheering crowds as she held her baby, who was wrapped in a white blanket.

"Royal Baby": Vom goldenen Käfig auf Thron ohne Macht

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's first baby has been named George Alexander Louis. But what's in the name?

It is a partial victory for the old maxim, "the bookmakers are never wrong". George was the rock-solid favourite for boys' names for a while, backed all the way down to 2/1. Alexander and Louis were both not far behind.

A cynic might point out that before we knew it was a boy, Alexandra - the Queen's first middle name - had been the favourite.

Of the three names, it is the significance of the third that is most obvious. Louis immediately makes one think of Louis Mountbatten, uncle of Prince Philip and last viceroy of India, who was killed by the IRA in a bomb attack on his yacht.


The boy called George

His father Prince Louis of Battenberg was Prince William's great-great-grandfather. Louis is also one of William's middle names. And, of course, the name of 17 kings of France (or 18 or 19, depending how you count).

If Louis honours one side of the Royal Family, George clearly resonates with the other.

Despite St George being the patron saint of England, it took the arrival of a German king, George I, to cement the name's place in England. Long a popular name in Germany, it has Greek roots.

There have since been five other Georges to sit on the throne. George III, king during the loss of the American colonies, is perhaps now best known for his mental illness thanks to Alan Bennett's play and the subsequent film adaptation.

The unexpected King George

His son George was a figure who certainly attracted more than his share of criticism. Arguably the best-known portrayal of him was by Hugh Laurie in the third series of Blackadder. In that comedy, he is a drunken, philandering fool of spectacularly limited grace and intelligence.

The real George was certainly both a drinker and womaniser who ate too much - the Times labelled him an "inveterate voluptuary" - but also an imaginative town planner, an ambitious patron of the arts and, most probably, not an idiot.

The most recent Georges reigned through two world wars. It was George V who declared war on Germany in 1914, pitting him against his first cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II.

George V recognised the strength of anti-German feeling and changed the Royal Family's name from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the more English sounding Windsor.
