<p class=MsoNormal>A crew member of ours is organizing a fun week of sailing
(and partying) out of Tortola, BVI. Fly into St. Thomas or Tortola.
If we book by Dec. 26st we get another 25% off of their normal charter
rates! Take along a friend or significant other. Please find below
a Q & A for many questions you may have. Please get back to us ASAP
if you would like to join us or have any questions! Sounds like FUN!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>1. About how many would
you have space for?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The big Cats have space for up to 10 (4 bedrooms, 4 baths and some sleeping
space in the main salon)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The smaller Cats have 3 bedrooms and the monohauls get smaller.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So we have space for as many boats as you want to get....I'm thinking at
least 2 cats.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>2. What week in Feb are
you looking at?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>early Feb, we can get up to 20% off if done before the 15th<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>3. Where do you fly in
and out of?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Tortola, British Virgin Islands is where the charter is.<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>You can either fly into Beef Island, Tortola<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>Or St. Thomas and take the Tortola Fast Ferry
over to Road Town.<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p>Either way is about the same amount of travel time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>4. Any idea what the
airfare runs?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>after a quick check $1,000 but I've seen them in the past at $500-600.
Who knows with the economy!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>5. What is approx. cost
of the boat rental, food and associated costs? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p> Here are some examples for boat prices for 7 days, I included all the
extra fees (if we go before Feb 15th looks like we will get an
additional 20% off the prices I'm listing):<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>47' cat - 10 people $1,000/person<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> - 8
people $1,250/person<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>42' cat - 8 people $1,050/person<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>35' cat - 6 people $916/person<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> - 5 people
$1,100<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The mono hauls are cheaper, but your climbing over each other.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <strong>Food:</strong> Typically we eat breakfast and lunch on
the boat and dinner at restaurants. Grocery prices are double what they are
here and restaurants have similar prices to here. There is a mixture of
high and low end restaurants on this trip. It's pretty flexible, you could
eat all on the boat or all in restaurants or anywhere in between. You are <strong><u>NOT</u></strong>
limited to what everyone else is doing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>6. What do you typically
do during the week? Cruise about how much? Eat on the boat or on
various islands? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We Island hop all week. The longest day of sailing will
be 4-5 hours max. Most of the time it's 1-2. There
is a mix of high end yacht clubs and small local places. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> Rent/take gear with us: SCUBA, snorkel, windsurf, kayaks,
fishing....what ever you can think of they rent.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> We are wide open for whatever everyone wants. We can sail where
ever we want.....and typically we don't decide until morning.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> here are a few places:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>7. What are sleeping
accommodations?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All the bedrooms have one big bed (for 2 people) and a bathroom.
Then there is some additional sleeping spots in the main cabin (think RV
style!) I've also spent many nights sleeping on the trampoline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>8. Where do we typically
tie down each night with storms?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There are tons safe moorings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>There is some anchorage for the calm nights.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>9. What is the cross
section of ages of people attending? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>25-65 plus who ever else wants to go!<o:p></o:p></p>
