Somewhere out there

Kevin and I talk often and he is mirroring what I was doing when my daughter was younger, (now 11). There really needs to be a better market for longer charters. Europeans do much longer charters than Americans, but the organization and pricing his very difficult. You can't pay rack rate for 7+ weeks. Someone using the boat long term is actually less wear and tear as you don't have a new learning curve every week. The owner doesn't have a $650 (perhaps more) turn around fee.
The hard part in organizing this is maintenance. In a BVI based boat what happens when you have issues on St Somewhere?
