Just got the call from my buddy in the BVI.
Last week he had phoned to ask me if I was interested in flying down to
help deliver a 57 foot sailboat from the BVI to Florida and then taking
another boat back all the way to St. Vincent. (3 weeks of sailing).
He would cover my airfare, food and a very modest daily rate. After
being on pins & needles for a week I got the news that he couldn't secure
the second portion of the trip so he wouldn't bother with the other
either. The plan was to spread the airfare expense out over the two
separate jobs. He has a couple of charters coming up to put food on his
table, but I sure am disappointed.
Says he will keep me in mind if any more deliveries come up this spring.


Damn, that could have been one hellova trip! Here's hoping it comes
together for you soon. ;-)

Thanks Jim. I imagine a lot of boats get shuffled from the winter tourist
destinations back home and also the commercial charter boat companies.
