Competence to charter

Bill, I''ve been in your situation, wife with
middling interest and kids who would rather
be elsewhere...but they had been on the family boat. I chartered. It was 68%
successful. For your crew''s first major outing, I''d take the learn to sail route. You''ll have a bigger boat, new faces, and generally they plan several nights on shore.

I think anybody who charters needs some time
on bigger boats 27''+ before going it alone.
The BVI''s is so forgiving because you have
good water and land all around.
