Scott . Thank you. I'm going with Navigare from Nanny Quay. Ironically the weather looks terrible this week ! All the best David

Scott. Great briefing . Thank you. Any updates ? Arriving tomorrow. Thanks. David

Hi scot this is tracy farquharson

Was this a joke? No prep, an indication of how the business is run!!..😂

Here is a "crazy idea" for you to consider, add solar panels and controller to your boat, you might have one or two sunny days in the Caribbean

Incredible. You know your stuff.tc

Sounds great, don't it? By the boat or by the cabin what's the difference when you've been screwed by these guys? Once you sucker-up and sign the contract they have your MONEY, and you are now betting that money that you won’t be SCREWED by these people waiting for them to delivery on their promise. Good Luck. You might, randomly, get very lucky, and get a boat that is newer and not a chartered-out and broken POS but good luck with that, don't count on it. Picture yourself standing in the hot sun at the marina with no place to stay, no provisions, no communication with them about the broken boat you've contracted, and you'll get the idea. They LITERALLY DON'T CARE. And don't think that your credit card will protect you, tried contesting the contracted charge for non-delivery and was denied because "the merchant is not liable for "the quality' of the rendered service." Can you believe it? I was SCREWED by these people.

Scott! we need some updates. Thank you

Hey scott, I really enjoy your videos. One question I have is do you know anywhere that would let someone singlehanded-bareboat charter in the BVI? seems like most places understandably require 2 people on board

Which charts are you using? I have Navionics app and the charter obviously has a chartplotter but I am looking for excellent paper charts.

Blah Blah Blah. You won't be allowed to take out the boat on your own. Want counts is time on the water as skipper. Period. There is no such thing as a bareboat "certification." Your experience in your logbook will either let you rent a boat or not. The charter company wants to see how much time you have as skipper. There is a great amount of lying and resume inflation on the charter company qualification forms; how else do you think all those drunk yokels you see on the water get to skipper a boat?

the answer to this titled question is "how does one get skippering experience?"

Biras creek is closed these days

looking forward to the next part.

Excellent sir!! Again, well seasoned charter captain watching your video and commending you on a job well done.

I spent 20 years in the Caribbean as a charter yacht captain (112’-150’). You have done a wonderful job with this video and your knowledge is outstanding. Thank you for a refresher coarse. I hope to sail the Sir Frances Drake Channel again soon and visit with my friends and purveyors of all then find establishments throughout the USVI/BVI Islands.

Thanks for posting. Cheers, SV Good Karma

Will ASA 104 in the BVI work?

what is the average depth coming through the North Sound in Gorda Sound? Could a 125ft motor yacht with 9-ft draft make it through?

What a pair of idiots

This sounds like more government red tape and indirect taxation. No discussion concerning sailing should ever require uttering the phrase “United Nations”. Sailors by definition sail/travel the world...the entire World. This is like have a designated place in the swimming pool where pissing is allowed.

Are you the member of ICS

Thanks! I’ve accepted a non working log for a year now and resisted the idea to clean it whilst in the water, due covid measures I am not able to haul out the boat, so I considered this, but your video convinced me again that it’s better to rely on gps speed than sinking :)

Please cover the use of an Inverter. Thanks !

YOU LEFT OUT LRVERICK BAY.WHICH HAS A GREAT OVER NIGHT STOP.THERE IS A MARINA.YOU CAN GET ICE. FUEL.GAS OR DIESEL.ALSO YOU CAN TAKE GARBAGE ASHORE.OR A BOAT COMES BY AND PICKS IT UP 3 TO 4 BUCKS A BAG.

BITTER END WAS DAMAGE BY HURRICANE IRMA.AND NOW REBUILDING.

Hello, can my company feature this video? Email us if we can at [email protected]

Can you share your checklist again? The link provided no longer works. Thanks

I'm having trouble getting the link to the downloads

So amusing.poor chap Toby. YO HO

buying a lawnmower

Great Briefing! I'm heading to the BVI for my first bareboat charter and this is great information, thanks so much!

Never found the checklist

What is your website address?!? It’s nowhere to be found

is it time to redo/edit those videos and adjust to current conditions or removing them all together ? As example , the Bitter End Marina ... as highly recommend in the video, it no longer exists due to the hurricane. What else was ruined ? ... - If not relevant (and I have no way of knowing if its so or not) - maybe consider removing those videos? what is the point in educating viewers with facts that are sadly no longer relevant?

awesome videos. I never charted a boat and never been to a Chart briefing. This feels like IT. But I do have a question/feedback. As someone who is just starting to look at chartering in the BVI, I was looking to get a sense of times. How long to be in specific spot (recommended) and more importantly, give a sense of distance/time from point to point. I am sure that I can figure it out using a chart but for the video, would have been great to add "captions" illustrating distance. - Will be looking at the rest of your videos to learn more.

A light dusting of grated nutmeg? Looks like the top fell off at 2:18 ;-) Great videos!

Great video, but dodgy sound again ;-)

You don't NEED any of those, if you know how to sail... They'll ask you to submit a resume of your sailing experience, then send you out with one of their skippers for a couple hours when you take delivery of the craft, to make sure you are competent. As long as you didn't lie about your competencey, you're golden.

Toby's voice is out of phase on the stereo mix making him very hard to listen to. This is similar to other videos you have made with him. Otherwise great series of videos.

Great video but weird audio when the Sunsail guy speaks

Loving these videos !

Curious as to why you’re recommending BEYC when it’s gone...? destroyed.

Great design except the interior table is way too big for that space. Should be 1/2 that size. No need for 2 full size tables on a 40’ boat..

What map chart do you use?

Would like some coverage on stack packs and lazy jack use

Fantastic information!

Thank you!
