The Pirate and the Lady

[Stanley Kaczenski]

Hello everyone! I am a Charter Captain in the Virgin Islands. I am an ASA, PADI, and Emergency First Responder Instructor. I am a Commodore member in the Seven Seas Cruising Assn. I have been in the Caribbean almost 20 years now. I usually put the boat on the hard for Hurricane season, July to Oct. I head to New England and then to the Pacific coast. I spend 3 or 4 weeks sailing the San Juan Islands and Vancover with friends up there. Then back to the 7-24 grind for 9-10 months. To be continued......

Oct. 6th back to Virgin gorda for boatyard blues, tempertures over 100. Heat exhaustion slows me down but out on following Monday. It is like a ghost harbour here. In Soper's hole for last 3 days, one other boat with people on it anchored, dead calm! But, beautiful days. Doing the usual touchup and repairs. Still getting inquiries but no one has money for chartering, they can't find friends to go along. I am getting worried $$$.
