Our largest charter group to date!
Many boat crews feel that tandem charters, more than one boat working together to offer a vacation to a large group of people, are difficult. I will admit that the phrase “herding cats” does come to mind when I think back on the past week. That said, we all had a fantastic time, both with the guests on One Love, and those on our buddy boats, Sognare and Bella Vita.
All together we had 14 guests with us this past week, from three different families. This charter was a bit unique for us in that we picked up our guests in St. John instead of St. Thomas as we typically do. As soon as we had everyone on board though, it was business as usual. We got them in the water for a swim as soon as we could, and following that, made our way directly to the BVI where more fun ensued.
The week was spent in a variety of beautiful anchorages which included, at our guests’ request, two nights in White Bay on Jost Van Dyke. We actually had One Love anchored directly off the famous Soggy Dollar Bar, a mere 60 second swim away from the beach and Soggy Dollar Painkillers. It’s hard to get much better than that!
Most awesome pictures.
Glad you enjoyed them.
Incredible pictures. Any place to get hd versions? Pics like these are what keep me going everyday.

It’s definitely doable, especially for someone with the stamina to read through our entire blog. 🙂
It took some time! Learned a lot! and love the writing style, pics… the journey. I live right by Alameda in cali, and have been a long time regular of quinn’s lighthouse (bar/restaurant live band singin’ sea shanties on thursdays!) if you guys ever attempt the canal and find yourself in the bay, I’d love to buy ya both a beer! 🙂 maybe ill just have to sail on down! thanks again, your blog is truly inspirational, and makes this dream seem obtainable.

If we get out there I’ll take you up on that offer of a beer.
Beautiful photos!! So glad you were all able to get out together and enjoy such a gorgeous day. :). I do this often with my family in Dubai, they love to sail.
Cool.
