In the Defence of the OP. I will say that, I attended the chart briefing as a first time charter with Moorings in May of this year. I was not what I expected. It is not really a chart briefing but an overview of the different islands anchorages. Do's and do not's. It felt more like a presentation of their cruising guide that they send you. If I had not spent so much time researching on this forum I would have found it useful but unfortunately it was a little boring and after a long day's travel almost a waste of time. EXCEPT FOR the following instruction: when heading for Guana island from Marina Kay.. do not go through the north side of beef island. Only go through the Little- Great Camanoe channel which feels a little counter intuitive since the channel is so narrow. That is the one instruction that I missed through all my research.

So there you go, ended up being worth it. 20 minutes of my time potentially saving a $700k boat and me potential insolvency....
