I spotted this instagram account, the mission of which seems to be to chronicle various acts of stupidity in White Bay and other places in the BVI.

I feel sure that this forum would have further content to add...!

In all fairness and humility I have a framed mooring ball pendant from my crew in my basement from 1 trip a while back that i picked up "inadvertently" along the way that reminds me that no matter what I am still a "credit card" captain

Along those lines, any Boatyball fans may want to avoid ball #6 in CGB. I watched a Moorings powercat spend an hour last weekend trying to get it unwrapped from the stb drive gear. At the very least give it a good inspection.

Cheers,
Jason

Wow the last film in the White Bay fails was my boat aground with a dinghy pushing hard on her side. Good thing Voyage builds tough boats. I dont know if that skipper reported this but I never heard about it. The joys of having a boat in charter.

Holo Holo was totaled by Irma, a fellow bought her from insurance company, patched her up and moved to Bonaire where she is now doing booze cruise tours.
