Captain Dan's Corner

Ahoy Mateys !
Wasn't September great for sailing! Look for more fun like that in October. We graduated up

another 105 Captain - Randy Chapman. Three cheers to you sir and looks like another BVI victim to me :-) Speaking of which, any of you who want to graduate in the BVI in June can do it. I will be starting the next 105 group class and we can get started on 104 anytime. Then the other big requirement is that you go sailing between now and June a whole bunch. Hmmmm... that shouldnt be too hard to do !

Don't Have Time To Clean ?
A new service offered by SailTime is our
Hop On - Hop Off cleaning service. Call an hour before you return to the dock and just check off the ettendant and take your trash. We'll rinse and wipe her down and give the cabin a quick cleaning for you every time you use the boat for only $25 each time. Sign up with Chris today for the quickest way on and off the boat ! This new program is in addition to our post cruise cleaning option already offered at $50.

Please Cancel ! If you reserve a Sail Time and decide not to use it, please cancel the reservation as soon as you decide so someone else can use the time.

Cruising ? Going on an overnight cruise here ? Call Chris at 984-1952 when you leave the harbor and when you return.

Way out planning - We are putting out a feeler to see if anyone is interested in being part of a group trip to Spain for the America's Cup in June 2007. Let us know. If that isn't way out enough for you, we are also doing the pre-planning for a SailTime California Rendezvous in La Paz - Sea of Cortez - in the next 18 months !

Make plans now to become a SailTime Captain through the SailTime N2C program and join an ALL Channel Islands Graduation Flotilla in the top cruising grounds of the world, the British Virgin Islands. There will be great sailing, anchoring in secluded spots for snorkeling and plenty of time to stroll a beach or shop for trinkets each day and at night we'll have fun at some of the legendary spots the BVI are known for as well as our own boat parties ! Put together a group and enjoy a sailing vacation that can't be beat at unbeatable prices. We get a special rate for our group trip with Sunsail and everybody can use their $500 off coupon ! Contact Chris for more inormation. Commit to the group by 12/1, book and pay a deposit in January. Bring family and friends - put together your crew. 3-4 people - a 36ft - 4-6 people 40-45 ft. Do your N2C qualifications by 6/1 If you go out 3x a month and sail with a purpose you can accomplish the goal and in the process become a very competent sailor. The pay off is captaining your own yacht in the Caribbean with your family and friends along to enjoy the experience as your crew !
