Ben; Very good trip report. we will be making a lot of the same stops that you have including Peter island and Diamond Cay. Looks like you and family had a blast.

It is good to see the perspective from members that have boats in the fleet as charters. Sometimes it is easy to lose sight of the fact that these boats are not owned by a large corporate entity (i.e Moorings, Sunsail or Footloose) but actually owned by individuals who may be relying on the boat for their retirement dreams. It is a good reminder for us one week out from our trip!

Maybe, when you charter a bareboat the charter companies (with approval from the owners of course) should provide a personal message from the owners of the boat to reaffirm that idea and sense of responsibility. "Hi, welcome aboard this is our baby, enjoy but treat it with respect and care please..."

Thanks again for the trip report.
