charter yacht

The boat is so nice and quiet today. Simeon is in Red Hook, Brent has left for his weddings etc in Canada, I am doing accounting, book work, web work and catching up on quotes and emails that I have to answer. In between playing scrabble with Lisa that is!
Richie is still an invalid. He goes to the doctor next Friday in the UK and then we will see what is up from there. Tons of Physio I imagine! Lisa is cooking her little heart out to give herself something to do!
Of course, before we were even cleaned yesterday Bazza sees this 5 days off as an opportunity to work on his Remote Operated Vehicle, so it has center stage in the cockpit.

We did a really good clean and vacumn of the boat yesterday, getting out the powerful shop vac to get underneath all the beds etc.....

That is all I know, I understand that some of our guests had delays getting home, ( how unusual!).

One other thing I have been meaning to mention, over the last 2-3 months the amount of guests that we have had complaining about items being stolen from their checked luggage, or valet luggage in either Miami or San Juan has really grown. Every other group it appears. One group had an IPOD, some camera equipment, cigars, and the list goes on, so please be very careful about letting anything valuable out of your sight coming down here. It truly is a travesty and the airlines should be ashamed of themselves, although I understand it is not just them it is TSA etc....

Just cleaning up the final guest comments from the group this week here...I really need these few days off to chill, although we have a couple town days in here which is not that chillin' like!

Thanks so much for an amazing trip. Everyone was so fun to be with and the food was great! I even learned to wakeboard and attempted to kneeboard (for Brent) SCUBA diving was also a amazing experience. Thanks again for your great hospitality. KATIE, SCOTTSDALE, AZ

Kerry, thank you for all the food. It was soooo good. Also thank you for letting us stay on your boat. Brent, thank you for being funny and nice to us all. I will miss you sooo much. (don't pinch so much, it will get you slapped). Simeon, I hope you like your new boat. When you told me your were leaving a day early that made me very sad. Thank you for the fun, I will miss you. Bazza, thank you for teaching how to water ski. It was sooo fun. If Brent was my teacher it would take me for years to learn. Well, thank you. This made my whole summer vacation fun.
