[Rhodes22-list] BVI bareboat and Carribean sailing

[Rob Lowe]

Ed,
Yes, I saw the Sunsail learn to sail page.  I would love to be able to do
that some day.  I suppose it would be more economical to get the ASA
certifications locally and then go down there to rent a bareboat, but damn
it sounds like fun to learn down there.  - rob
