Had another Charter last 10 days of January. AA flights to EIS on time but one duffle bag missing. We arrived late and stayed one precharter night at the Timarind Club. Nice and clean freindly staff, continental breakfast in the morning and Taxi to meet Brent at Manual Reef Marina Sea Cows bay at 10:00 AM. The Boat was clean, tanks full, refer cold and ready to go. Had never met Brent before, just a few emails for booking our Charter. First impression was that he is a nice guy, pretty straight forward boat & chart breifing. We called Bobby's to confirm our order was on it's way to be delivered around 11:00 AM. Got plenty of ice at the store 100 feet from the dock. Brent was very helpful answering any questions and insisted on helping with everthing, loading our bags, delivery from Bobby's, all great.

We chartered Chachaa a Bene 393, about 10 years old. She has new main sail, Jib, full dodger/bimini,transmission. One year old Engine and all lines are new or close to it. Everything worked good. Refer cold and freezer worked great with only being turned on 3-4 hours a day. Ice & frozen food stayed frozen all week. Brent stalked the boat with enough linens and towels to last a month. All of them like brand new. Nicely stalked galley including a really nice set of sharp knifes.

We lucked out with the wind direction as we left Sea Cows headed for Trellis bay to pick up our delayed duffle from American. Actually sailed most of the way. Took the dingy in, got our bag and back to the boat. Decided to stay overnight on a ball and relax a bit before a good night sleep. Great time of year with a cool temp for sleeping all week. In the AM still had favrable winds out of the southeast and was able to sail a line through the dogs and directly to North sound. Anchored between cactus reef and sand castle about 200 feet off shore in about 15 feet. Really quite calm place to stay, chilled for two days there and then out to Anegada for a night. Back to North sound for a TTOL special in a slip and a great dinner upstairs. Picked up a few things at the store topped off with water & ice. We decided to anchor at Drakes for a couple nights, snorkal the reef, read and relax. Intresting things to see, Sir Richard himself zoomed by about 100 feet away from us on about a 1 hour visit to Moskito. They are making some pretty good progress. Also Mega yacht ACE anchored about 100 yards off our stern. pretty amazing because Ace has a support ship named "Garcon 4 Ace" that is bigger than most yachts with extra boats, and helicopter on the top.

After plenty of Rest & relaxation we headed on downwind sail to cooper, the bight and our last night at Key bay. Great trip and easy sailing including a quick sail to meet up with brent at the fuel dock at Nanny Cay. Brent was very helpful with an efficient fuel up, return to sea Cows and boat de-breif. I really can't say enough about how great Brent and the boat was. He does everything himself and the pride he takes in his work really shows. We have Chartered with Voyage, BVI Yacht charters, Sunsail, I think Brent out performs them all, he is like a one man wonder, we were really pleased and will book again next year.

Brent arranged for a taxi to EIS and flights back home went smooth but a really long day.
