BVI: self-provisioning & money questions

[jelman]

Excellent tips, Jeff. Thanks. Especially about the Bavaria transom seat (yes, we'll be on Scallaywag, a 33' 2008 Bavaria). This is all great info and a terrific help. As i said, we leave tomorrow AM. Get to Tortola late evening (long day from San Diego) and then will begin the charter Wednesday. We're looking forward to it. The weather seems to be a bit unsettled right now, but I understand that's typical this time of year. That's ok, though--as long as we're on the boat we'll have fun! I'll post a summary of how things went when we return.

Well, you may not have to worry about tying down that seat after all.

Unless they've got a new one in from Germany.

Please note that that is a small boat, and, accordingly, it goes slower than the bigger boats. When choosing destintions, you may need to consider the additional 25% ish time it takes to get between destinations at 4.5-5 knots rather than 6-8 of a 40' boat. Not a problem for me, as I'm really there to sail. The snorkeling, food, and rum punches are merely...perks.

Aside: That was a nice boat, everything worked perfectly, including the heads.
