Christmas shopping time is fast approaching. The dreaded chore of finding the perfect Christmas gift that will put a smile on the face of the special people in your life.
Caribbean Sailing Vacation
Last Christmas I found myself with the usual dilemma; what gift can I get for my family that would be special, memorable and easy? Then I found the perfect solution. I found sailwithterry.com on the internet and was mesmerized by the videos and vivid pictures. The Virgin Islands were easily assessable, only required a passport and of course the weather was in the mid 80’s in the middle of the winter. I realized that this would be the gift that everyone would be excited about.
I contacted Captain Terry by phone and after listing to our interests he made numerous suggestions for a customized sailing adventure.
A 46’ catamaran offering three private suites complete with a private bath, a large galley and salon, plenty of deck space for sun tanning. I signed up for a captain and a chef, but was assured that we would be able to participate in the sailing activities as much or as little as we wanted.
A seven (7) day Caribbean sailing vacation in the dead of winter. My Christmas shopping was complete and I could not wait to see the surprised and excited faces on Christmas morning.
I proceeded to accumulate pictures and brochures of the Virgin Islands. Since there are over 60 islands and cays I thought that it would be fun for everyone to be able to participate and decide which islands to visit. Captain Terry had suggested several fun activities. Perhaps a rendezvous with a dive boat for the certified divers and a exploration dive for the novices, spend a day in North Sound complete with pig BBQ at Leverick Bay while enjoying the entertainment of Michael the Pirate, exploring the “Dawned island” Anegada and enjoying a lobster dinner, or just having a laid back day and getting pampered at a European spa complete with a champagne lunch overlooking the beautiful turquoise Caribbean Ocean?
Well, we did it all and it was definitely the best Christmas ever and also the most memorable vacation for my family. Especially since we booked our sailing charter in the dead of winter when all of our friends and neighbors were trying to hide from the cold, freezing weather.
Plan early, contact Captain Terry at sailwithterry@gmail.com or phone him today 941 266 0296.
