It is a confusing situation. We bareboat with a captain and are told by Moorings we are responsible for his meals.

We dingy ashore for dinner and invite him to eat at the restaurant with us as an ice breaker on the first night. Next evening same scenario as we dingy ashore and eat in a restaurant. The captain sits with us as the night before but we didn't invite him. Now what do we do? Send him back to the boat to use provisions to cook his own dinner?

The best we can figure out is having the captain come ashore with us and we provide dinner at the bar so we can eat dinner with friends. He is fed and we get to socialize.

The situation is awkward and compounded when a dingy is needed to get to dinner. I think now after a few charters I have the the confidence to speak up about expectations but in the early charters, I did not.
