Candu,

TY......

I always feel bad when I make a recommendation and it falls short of my sentiments in someone els's experience.

Like you, we've done a lot of boats throughout our many trips though not the Celine or the Lord Sheffield, but over the years we did the Random Wind, the Marinaut, the original Bluebeard, Rubiyat and Swaliga and recently the Passaat and most recently, this one and one pure booze cruise boat whose name escapes me.

I don't think we ever experienced anything quite like your Russian bimbos but reading your last comments, I think I'm getting why you didn't enjoy the day. Too bad because DH and I both considered this trip, along with the Random Wind a few owners back and the current day Passaat to be about the best three we've done in St. Maarten.

I would definitely book the Passaat in advance of your next visit as it truly is a great sail, much as I wonder if I should say that given my track record with recos to you. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
