PENTESILEA II
“Captain Travis and Rose were fantastic – they were friendly, helpful, knew a ton about the area and were great with our kids. I was worried how it would be spending the week with total strangers, but after just a few minutes, it was like we had known them forever. They quickly honed in on our tastes and suggested new things for the kids and us to try – they were the perfect hosts with the right blend of interacting with us, and giving us time alone too. Rose’s meals were like dining in a gourmet restaurant. I started taking pictures of the food!

Here is what a beach in the BVI looked like before my generous and caring clients volunteered to “give back to the BVI”.



Here is what the beach looked like after they bagged up hundreds of plastic bottles and other trash.


I serve on CYBA’s “GOING GREEN TO SAVE THE BLUE” Committee.    Yates Yachts has implemented a long list of environmentally sound practices in our office, including solar heating, paperless brochures, and recycling.

We can all pitch in!  There is no recycling in the islands. This year, CYBA is working on solutions to reduce the overwhelming amount of plastic bottle water waste. By educating the crews, and you, we hope to greatly diminish the impact on land and sea.

Many yachts make purified water onboard.  Others have opted to purchase multi-gallon water containers which is offered to guests in re-usable, stainless steel water bottles that you can take home with you.

One of the highlights was my first time paddleboarding. Thank you Julie and Tim on McGregor II (www.galaia.com). Next was paddleboard skiing behind SUBLIME’s (www.viewyacht.com/sublime) go-fast dinghy. I managed to stay on my feet…until the turn. Amazing face plant! Thanks so much Brian and Stephanie. For a great core workout and a test of your balance, try paddleboarding!  But use better form than this, please!
