$18'000 for a week for 6 couples and you had to bring your own food? Just curious what kind of boat was it? how large?

Last time I checked you can get a 58' cat chartered and crewed all inclusive for $20K. Don't see the value in this arrangement but don't have details.

I do feel a bit sorry for the chef. Trying to prepare meals in a galley and having to keep track of who's meat is who's and having to make multiple meals for a setting would get frustrating, confusing and impractical if not impossible.

Sorry, I also don't get the issue with no hot water. The water in those tanks have to be at least 39 deg (Celsius, Canadian Eh!) After a hot day in the sun and water, a nice cooling shower is much more refreshing and definitely not worth ruining a vacation or a relationship over.

Also you are combining boating with da'islands mon! Service standards, parts availability, repair times, all have to be set low. If they exceed great! If not have another drink, enjoy the water and the beach...

great story from renting the moorings. The towel that they had on the boat to wipe your feet on was dirty from the maintenance people wiping their boots on to fix an odor issue from one of the heads (They ending up just spraying some cleaning solution which didn't fix the problem by the way.) When I asked for a fresh towel as the towel was already dirty they just looked at me with that... "what do you expect its for wiping dirty shoe dumb [censored]" look . "Sorry no other towels available" they said... And that's when I remembered "oh yeah I am in da islands" and about to set off on a 7 day adventure of a life time! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />
