We're chartering "Tootsie" a 41' monohull from BVI. In Minnesota, we have a 32' on Lake Superior, and we're looking forward to chartering where the water is warm, and, at this time of year, not hard. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the advice on Jost; when we were there last, we anchored in Great Harbor, and my husband met me at the Soggy Dollar via the dinghy with our oldest and youngest son, while the middle son and I walked over the hill. I still remember that 22 years later, as it is steep:) I also remember that after anchoring in Great Harbor, we dropped the 3 boys (age 5,9, and 15) off via dinghy while we relaxed in the quiet aboard the boat for about an hour. We thought they'd hang out together and sight see. Well, about an hour later we headed in to meet up with them. They were all in different places, had met new friends of their own ages, and were playing some kind of game. The oldest was playing basketball, the middle son was playing soccer, and the youngest was playing some kind of hopscotch game. They were all having a great time. Kids have a universal language!
