A little background: Wound up in BVIs in 2004 and wandered down to some docks....ended up getting a great, unexpected deal on 50 ft. monohull for a week. We weren't even there to bareboat and just went with the flow.....
Fast forward to this year.....might have a 10-11 days free in late April and thinking about heading down to St. Lucia. The problem is that I won't know if I have the time off until the week before the trip. Yes, that means more expensive airfare for family. Does it make sense to reserve something in advance or would I be better off just showing up with cute children and a huge roll of hundreds? I, like most folks, don't have unlimited funds but would love to try a cat this time. Perhaps boat availability is limited this time of year and I'm better wasting a deposit just to ensure we get a boat. Thoughts?
