[Public-List] Chartering in the BVI

[Brian Zinser]

Gord,

Mario can be contacted at thegoodlifecatamaran at hotmail.com 
<mailto:thegoodlifecatamaran at hotmail.com>

He is a Franco but his English is quite good.

I did not get to Little Harbour, but I understand Sydney's is still 
there. I can attest that the Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxy's are still there!

Brian
