I don't think I'd mind some 'island music' (steel drums) at anchor, but
not
Cuban.

Depends. I fell asleep before they started, don't know if anyone else in the
main cabin did, I was in the vee berth. It was fairly loud from what I
vaguely recall, and they did play till 3 am, tough if you want to be up by 7
am.

Interesting sail, had the usual equipment malfunctions and mishaps,
including, no running lights or masthead, ripped main, non-functioning
electric windlass, solid vang separated from the boom, numerous leaks,
panel
blown out of enclosure(starboard side), numerous leaks, grounding(soft
bottom, thank god), a lift bridge that wouldn't open(2 hours), a band that
played at full volume 'till 3 a.m.at our only anchorage, at least one
almost
completely useless and extremely obnoxious crew member,and lastly, a
ticket
from the marine police in Lauderdale.OTOH, we had some incredible sailing,
a
lot of laughs, and everyone made it back in one piece. Will post more pics
ASAP.

Excepting for the better part of the afternoon trying to keep the boat under
control with the staysail and motor it was fun. It was especially fun at
night when you couldn't see a bloody thing and probably were better off for
it. Instead of shouting "hold on" you could just say "that was a big one".

But that's the stuff that makes you grow.

(I swear to god if Bill had said "broach" one more time that time I would
have whaled him upside the haid with a brass lamp!)
