CRUISING AREA. American and British Virgin Islands.

Leeward and Windward Islands.

The Grenadines.

Barbados.

Trinidad and Tobago.

(Other localities by arrangement.)

In the case of the American and British Virgin groups, as these Islands are a considerable distance to leeward, it is usually not practicable to terminate a cruise at St. Thomas.

PORT OF DEPARTURE and ENTRY. Is normally English Harbour ANTIGUA, this island being well served by the Pan American and B.W.I. air lines from all parts of the West Indies and America.

Any other recognised port in the cruising area may be chosen provided the period of charter is for two weeks or longer.

VICTUALLING. The Charterer provides the food for his party, and for the Crew. The vessel will arrive at the rendezvous Port fully provisioned for several days, so that there need be no immediate difficulty or delay, and if required full catering service will be provided at cost price. From past experience the average cost of all extras amounts to approximately $3.50 B.W.I. per person per day, including crew.

FUEL. The Charterer is also responsible for all fuel used during the period of charter.

In the interests of safe navigation the Master may at any time order the use of the main or auxiliary machinery and the Charterer also as he considers necessary for the convenience and comfort of his party.

LEGAL AGREEMENT. In order to limit the legal liabilities of both parties, it is advisable that a Charter Party Agreement be entered into and documented before the cruise commences. It must be strictly understood that in chartering this vessel, the Charterer should abide by all Customs, Immigration, harbour and Government regulations which may be in force in any of the Islands or Dependencies that

the ship may visit, and that no responsibility for any infringement of any such regulations will be recognised by the Master or Owner of the vessel.

This includes infringement of such regulations by members of the Crew while under the direction of the Charterer.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS. In order to assure prospective Charterers of the availability of the vessel at the required time, it is necessary that a deposit of 20% of the estimated charter fee be forwarded at the time of Booking.

SPORTS FACILITIES. The following gear is carried.

(a) Deep Sea fishing tackle.

(b) Underwater harpoons and goggles.

LUGGAGE. Luggage taken aboard should be restricted to a minimum.

FOOTWEAR. Soft soled shoes should be taken for all members of the party and normally worn aboard.
