Having a captain will relieve you of a lot of the pressure of "gotto go THERE". Talking with Cap'n about the where's and where nexts will really make the whole trip easier and more satisfying. Captains not only keep the crew out of trouble, they often know the best spots, know the shore staff and servers, and know how to take advantage of lesser known/used anchorages. Your Captain should be a trusted friend for the week.
