Calypsos For Cruisers originated after Smitty entered a calypso competition in 2001 put on by Boaters’ Enterprise Ltd. at the Crews Inn complex at Chaguaramas in Trinidad.  He won the competition with his selection Call Jesse and it became a big hit among the cruising community.  Following the competition, many cruisers came to him with ideas for other calypsos and It’s Your Fault and Life On The Hard were created.  In 2002, Boaters’ Enterprise Ltd. requested him to perform at their annual Taste Of Carnival presentation.  There he sang Life On The Hard and the now popular Call Jesse.  It was at this performance that the title The Mighty Yachtie was bestowed on him. In 2003, he was again requested to perform at the Taste Of Carnival presentation and he sang BOAT, Don’t Come A Knocking and Call Jesse.   

An article, written by fellow cruisers Rod & Jan Tuttle, appeared in The BOCA, a monthly Magazine published by Boaters' Enterprise Ltd. in Trinidad in March 2002.  Jack Dausend, editor of The BOCA Magazine, did a CD review in May 2004. Read Review
