We have extended our charter this month by three days... yea! We will be dropping off two crew members and picking up our son & girl friend at Trellis Bay first thing Sunday morning May 28th. Excited about sharing the experience with them.

Trying to figure out where to go Sunday so as to stay out of the way of the fast boats making the Poker Run. Being that we will only have our son and GF on board for three nights I want to make sure they see some of the highlights. I figure we will get out of TB by 9am... 10am at the latest. Do we head toward JVD and figure everyone will zip by us while in transit and it will be quiet when we get there, or do we just head to Cooper and stay away from it all? Also thought about doing the Baths and then trying to get a ball at Saba or BEYC before all the PR boats got back to Leverick Bay, but don't know how crazy it will be in NS and if getting a ball will be tough/impossible. With a 11am start when do the boats start returning to LB?

Anyone have experience chartering during the Poker Run? Any tips/suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
