I feel compelled to say it: if you find your 7 day cruise compressive, then you're doing it wrong :-)


sailing, being the skipper, being responsible for the crew, the boat, and sometimes provisioning can be a bit stressful. Owning and doing repairs while on vacation is not as relaxing as sitting by a pool having cocktails <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />


Totally Agree! Last May with my buddy and co-captain and respective wives had a dream vacation. When the charter was done we stayed a night at the Marriot in French Man's Reef before our mid PM flight the next day. We ate that night at Blue Havana and I could barely stay awake! I had to leave at 9:00 and crash in the Hotel room. A week being responsible for a $700k Cat builds up. This will be solely responsible for my own boat with3 kids 9, 11, 13 all boys! Decompression will definitely be required!

I think for the interest of saving travel and hassle, looking to stay on Tortolla. Although we have been to St. John a couple of times and agree it is a lovely island. Not sure I want to subject the family to another ferry ride that day. Looking to check in, do some shopping and either rent a car or take a taxi to our destination, relax in a pool, nap in a hammock, stiff drink in hand. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
