An excellent story in the NYTimes about a package deal for camper cruising the Bahamas. There are some excellent photographs with the story by Sara Fox, well worth visiting the story just to see the evening photograph. From the story...
For $1,350, Out Island Explorers will supply four passengers with a boat, tents, sleeping bags, mattresses, a cook set, propane, Yeti coolers, water containers, chairs, a Hawaiian sling spear gun and everything else you need to survive a week in paradise. All we had to do was fly into the Staniel Cay airport, pull up the sails and push off into the sunset. A week later, we would end our one-way trip 80 miles south on Great Exuma Island and fly home.
A few reactions to reading the story.
One: I have always liked Sea Pearls, they seem like excellent boats.
Two: The Bahamas seem like a wonderful cruising ground.
Three: Four people on a Sea Pearl sounds like a crowd. Two seems more appropriate to me.
Four: Maybe this is something I should put on the list for "someday".
Pretty sure this is the same deal that Small Craft Adviser did a story on a few years ago.
