Tradewinds - i've personally seen far worse from other 'civilian' bareboaters! I can only speak from our personal experiences, but every year we see a lot of absolute f####ng clowns in command of vessels, it brings a tear to the eye (given that these vessels are owned by good people).

We saw no better or worse from the MIT crowd. Same old story.

...not defending them in any way shape or form, just our thoughts! In general I'm amazed at how many credit-card-captains are allowed to leave the dock...but also delighted at how many people, with limited sailing experience are able to come and enjoy these incredible islands.

I realise I contradict myself to an extent...
