White Bay Fails - 06/19/2019 02:14 PM

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.

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.
