Safe Down Island Passage

The delivery/charter went well only be perserverance and commitment to keeping the schedule. After Monserrat came Guadeloupe, Les Isles Des Saintes, Dominica, martinique, St Lucia and finally St Vincent. Not to be recommended as a charter!

This broker rather rudely mis-sold the couple who paid for a "half price charter" on this trip being a pleasant island hop, three to four hours of sailing a day, with plenty time to tour each island. What they didn't research is that they were to expect a good eight to ten hour bash to windward in open sea, having to leave at day break in order to get in to clear customs and immigration if they wanted to see aything ashore. Ah well, they tour was interesting!

Patrick returned to the BVI on the Saturday morning of the 11th, seriously good timing!
