Just got back from our trip and wanted to share about several topics:

Moorings Mariner Inn – We stayed the night before our sleep aboard and it was great. The room was nice and the location made it easy to finish some last minuet details and provisioning. The construction of the new inn seems to not be close to completion but it is well separated from the current rooms so we were not impacted by any construction. The restaurant was just ok with the exception of the Sunday brunch which was quite good.

Footloose – The staff were great, the boat (Beneteau 33.5 Class Act) was in good shape, clean and well stocked with gear. We were off the dock at 9:30 the morning of our Charter which is a record for me. We had a battery that had trouble holding a charge so a service tech met us at Marina Cay and swapped it out for a new one in a very timely manor. Near the end of the charter the alternator was acting up a bit and once again we received very quick and convenient service in White Bay JVD. All in all we found Footloose to be a great value.

Island Time Rentals– We rented a 12 ft go fast RIB through Island Time and left the Footloose dinghy behind. This was great! It was my second year renting a fast dink and it was once again well worth the expense and here’s why:
• There were no moorings at the Baths so we simply continued to Colision point grabbed a mooring there and 5 minuets later we were hooked up to the dinghy moorings at the Baths
• We moored at BEYC and were able to fully explore the sound without moving the mother ship.
• We hit Monkey point from Marina Cay for some great snorkeling.
• From White Bay we went to Sandy Cay for the morning and then to Taboo for lunch.
• From the Bight we hit the Indians.

Save a Sato – Before we left we signed up with a dog rescue organization that rescues dogs from PR and sends them on AA to the US. We didn’t know if there would be any dogs flying on our tickets but to our surprise when we returned to Boston and checked email we found out that we had escorted 16 dogs!!! What a great surprise that was!

Highlights – Pool at BEYC, Happy Hour at Marina Cay, snorkeling at Monkey Point, White Bay, Foxy’s BBQ, Indians snorkeling, Pussers Rum
