To close the thread, just heard from Moorings. Chart briefing at 19:00 hours and we have reserved our courtesy skipper who will show between 08:00 and 08:30 the next morning. I have requested Jimmy Hodge as per recommendation by Member on this thread but no guarantees. Hopefully we will be able to get off the dock soon after the skipper's arrival. All good news!

As per provisioning, I have convinced the rest of the crew that it would be prudent to get as much bulk provisioning done before hand (Beer, Beer more Beer oh and some water <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />) and we can get fresh produce from the Rite way and some deli meets and cheese From French Deli and wine/spirits from TICO.

Thanks all for the tips and input. much appreciated. looking forward to letting you all know how it goes.

Cheers!
