Travel and Testing with The Captains Compass - 12/06/2021 03:28 PM
Ahoy Captain,
One of the Safest places in the World today is on a Yacht in the BVI.
With Family and Friends, all Fully Vaccinated and Recently Tested.
And No Masks and No Distancing and No Politics.
One of the Safest places in America is on a flight to the BVI, with the vast majority of the Crew Fully Vaccinated, the vast majority of the Passengers Fully Vaccinated and All recently tested for International Travel, and the Hepa air filters and professional cleaning of the aircraft.
And even Safer if You and your Family and Friends have had a Booster.
Testing – Many of the Guests of The Captains Compass have wisely used the Proctored Binax Now tests.
You can purchase a 2 pack, then use the First in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
Then use the Second test, with a cold cocktail in your hand and your feet in the sand of a beach bar with Wi-Fi in the BVI, Anytime the Day Before you travel back to the USA.

“The 1-day period is 1 day before the flight’s departure. The Order uses a 1-day time frame instead of 24 hours to provide more flexibility to the air passenger and aircraft operator. By using a 1-day window, test acceptability does not depend on the time of the flight or the time of day that the test sample was taken.
For example, if your flight is at 1pm on a Friday, you could board with a negative test that was taken any time on the prior Thursday."
