Underway to the USofA

Finished up up a four day easy charter with the owners. We had eight guests total, all couples and friends of the owners. We had a couple who owned a NBA team (cannot disclose for privacy) another couple who was in oil, and another couple who was on board as potential half owners. They were all American but from different states and all college friends. The potential owners are in the steel business and was the main steel distributor of most of the Las Vegas casinos from 1990 - 2010.

One night before dinner everyone was seated and waiting for the potential half owner and his wife said "don't worry we can start dinner my husband is on the phone trying to buy a plane and get a good deal, he might be awhile." She said that very calm and as if this wasn't a big deal! HAHAHA

Buying a plane and a yacht in one weekend is no big deal I'm assuming.

We picked up in Canouan, Grenadine Islands and traveled to Mustique, the island where the Royal family vacations to all the time. Perfect timing because they were on the island the day we were there which was my birthday. I can say I spent my birthday on a private island with the Royal family, even though there was no siting of them. The island was shut down due to the Royal family being there but our guests were able to go ashore just no cameras allowed. We spent one day in Mustique then traveled down to Tobago Cayes which has the most unreal water of all the Caribbean.
Back to Canouan and then dropped off the guests. 
We are now somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean. Haven't seen land in over 24 hours and still going. We arrive in St. Thomas tonight to drop most of the crew off and pick up our relief captain, who will then take us all the way back to West Palm. We will then stop in Puerto Rico to gas up and next stop will be USA!
Excited to get back to the US, drive a car, shop, all the cool stuff you can't do while you are on a boat.

Cheers
