Jeanine, I'm sorry I missed your introduction post. Sometimes I forget to check those posts. Our first "cruise" was on a 37' chartered sailboat in the USVI. We had our own captain and were supposed to go with another couple (who we did not know) but they bailed at the last minute and we had the captain and the boat all to ourselves. As you had said, luxury it was NOT. But heaven it WAS!!! This was way back in 1987 but I still have very fond and vivid memories of our adventure. We were so glad we went on our first carribean vacation on this chartered sailboat instead of the mass market cruise ship method. Of course, that was before the PG and RSSC :)

Lisa, feel free to ask me questions as well as Jeanine about our chartered sailing. And being a PIPster I'll be happy to pass on whatever info I can for your 6/4 cruise!!! Glad to hear that you'll have another LCT member to share your experience with. You and Jeanine and husbands will have a blast!! Did you post an introduction, Lisa? Please forgive me if you did and I missed it. If not, go ahead and tell us your story. We love hearing about everyone!!
