To make a long story VERY short, because of COVID and the fact that the Caribbean has been shut down for a while, we bought this boat without laying a foot on it. We did the survey (inspection) of the boat via live video stream from the BVIs on the first day the BVIs were even able to venture out of their homes.

We then booked flights to the BVIs on the first day they opened up – December 8, 2020 – to get on our boat. We had to quarantine on the boat – could not even officially step on the dock – for the first 5 days. So we showed up late at night after a weird flight down, got escorted to the dock with our luggage, and were left alone, except “room” service, for 5 days. This shot was taken within minutes of us arriving. We had two pieces of carry-on luggage and 4 very large duffel bags – weighted and sized to just fit within the airlines restrictions – full of various boat stuff.
