It's over rated. You want a cool place to go? Go spend a week on Carriacou.

Really? you didn't like the Caves, JVD, Half Moon Bay?

They were cool, but it's a friggen zoo with tourists. And topless French chics :hihi: I fell in love with Carriacou. It's like comparing Newport to Cuttyhunk.

I was supposed to do a catermaran trip through the BVI's with my captain buddy sailing it last year. i was super pumped. Unfortunatly he and his fiance split and axed the vaca. Still want to do it though. Just need him to sail.

I'll be your captain :)

Make sure he stays on his side of the cat unless you want to be the big spoon.

JVD is nice, the day is touristy, but the nights and away from white bay is quiet, peaceful and pretty nice.

go to the bahamas for better DIY fishing though....

Tarpon is better in the BVI.

Meant to say Cane Garden Bay, not HMB. I would like to get an efficiency apartment there and use that as my base of operations for a week. Might do it this winter...

Sounds good. You'd have to be prepared for a week long bender. If so your hired.

Same problems existed 40 years ago. Only requires money to own a boat. No skill needed.

FYI, you cannot "drive" a boat. Or an airplane for that matter. One can drive trucks and cars but not boat or airplanes. I learned that in the 1960's while enrolled in a safe boating and navigation course offered by the U.S. Power Squadrons. I read Chapman's "Piloting, Seamanship, and Small Boat Handling" handbook. Twice. Cover to cover. I was 16 years old. I'm now 62 years old. Nothing has changed. Weekend warriors still exist. Best advice is to get off the water by 9:30 A.M. on weekends.

Just avoid weekends if you can, boating is a lot more fun on a Wednesday.

Personally, I would like to see a mandatory license and "road test" for boaters. That would cut down on the plug and play weekend yahoos. Further, more police and stiff fines for minor infractions. There are too many boaters, this would be a way to cut down and raise revenue at the same time.

bwaaaaa
