JP, I haven't thought much about bareboat charters in Italy....yes I have! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> I had previously read somewhere that I would need to obtain a special license, but I just pulled this off of the Sunsail website. I think I'm good to go!!!
BTW, I am not happy with photobucket, the post should have a lot of photo's in it, I see large gaps between photos, some photos aren't loading properly, should be no gaps <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/smashpc.gif" alt="" />
