Caribbean Trip Day 5. Fast Ferry to Tortola and Meet Crew and Catamaran From Hell
March 17, 2017 by Cruising Off Duty | Language: EN Play Time: 00:12:48 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Ep47. This Episode of Cruising Off Duty, we leave St Thomas in the USVI on the Fast Ferry to go to Tortola in the BVI. We show you that it is not as easy as just jumping on a Ferry to change islands as you have a slow Customs Process ahead. You also meet the Crew (Dan and Theresa and Colin and Carolyn) that we are going to be sailing with on the 40′ Catamaran that we have chartered for the next week. We get to the Catamaran and find out Dream Yacht Charters has not been maintaining this boat well at all and even though this Catamaran is only a year old, so many things are not working, including both fridges, the watermaker and one of the 2 toilets. We deem it the Catamaran From HELL.
All this in this episode. If you found it informative or entertaining please give it a thumbs as it helps get YouTube to promote it outside of the existing subscribers. If you haven’t already and you want to follow along with our journey, hit the subscribe button.
Thanks – Craig and Janice.

Cruising Off Duty
Welcome to Cruising Off Duty. We are Craig and Janice. We love travelling and we love sailing, so we figure the best way to see the world is by sailboat. We presently have a 35' Beneteau Oceanis sloop that we sail out of Kingston, Ontario Canada, which is on Lake Ontario. We have a longer term plan, when we retire in a few years, to sell everything and buy a 40-50' Catamaran and circumnavigate the globe. Craig loves photography along with land based and drone videography and plans to document everything along our travels to share with the world through Youtube and other social media. For now, follow our channel as we show you the beauty of the Great Lakes and the 1000 Islands area of the St Lawrence River. You will also see the steps we take as start narrowing down the Catamaran we think will suit us best as we move closer to our goal of living full time on a sailboat and exploring the world. It should be a journey worth watching.
