Hi Sue, That sounds like a trip to hell and not a vacation! I had heard good things about the moorings but I guess there is always the possibility to end up with a "lemon" poorly maintained boat. Other that the boat having problems, how was the weather in February? How was it getting there? Shoud I plan for additional expenses?
