the hottest RG Magazine of the year! The magazine's annual swimsuit issue includes eight pages of the summer's latest styles for beach, boat and pool, exclusively photographed for RG by top local fashion photographer Marshall DeCouto.

Still in the summer mood, RG also has the latest on boats, engines and other marine matters for having fun on the water.

And with more people than ever on Bermuda's waters, senior writer John Burchall looks at the increasingly important issue of water safety.

Underwater, Tim Greenfield explores the 17th century wreck that may yet yield vital secrets of the slave trade.

In other features, Patricia Calnan profiles sculptor Chesley Trott on the eve of his major retrospective at the Bermuda National Gallery, Tony Davis travels the backwaters of France, Joe Gibbons cooks Caribbean and I-Spy gets up close and personal with Social Worker of the Year Renee Brown.

It's all in the May issue of RG Magazine, available free only with tomorrow's edition of The Royal Gazette .
