Charter Yacht Antillean : Hurricane Tomas & Ready to Charter!

We were worried about one of our favorite charter yachts, ANTILLEAN, because we knew that they had left Trinidad and were heading up to the Virgin Islands for the charter yacht shows while Hurricane Tomas was in his active period through the Lesser Antilles.

We had good news from Heidi & John yesterday:
Hi Bob & Sheila,
Tomas missed us. Everything was going on behind us but we did pick up the edge of the storm and waited things out in St.Kitts. Spent a few rough nights but all was well. Presently in St. Martin and have to get a move on to get ready for the show.
- John & Heidi

Antillean is back in the water after her summer ashore and ready to welcome YOU aboard! Here's a previous post with comments from happy clients we had aboard Antillean earlier this year.


Antillean is an owner-operated 50-foot Beneteau sloop.  John Gould (British) is captain and Heidi Wheeler (American) is the chef/mate.  Mr. Smee is the well-behaved, and much loved ship's parrot. Antillean accommodates up to six guests in three cabins (2 Queens, 1 Double) each with ensuite heads/showers.  They have a 12-foot dinghy with 30HP motor, tube, kayak, fishing gear, snorkelling equipment, 20" Flat screen TV with DVD in the salon, floating mats, noodles, etc.

Catamaran Good Medicine: Offers Continuing Medical Education (CME) courses

Continuing Medical Education (CME) Cruises on catamaran Good Medicine !

Docs, get your Continuing Medical Education credits while sailing, snorkeling, kayaking and swimming in the Virgin Islands!

Good Medicine, a crewed 46-foot sailing catamaran, accommodates up to six guests in three queen staterooms, each with private, ensuite bathrooms, or families of 8 using the single berths in the "forepaws".  Here's another possibility: three physicians and their spouses can each take a cabin and create their own CME conference.  Your crew will assist you in planning an itinerary that has you completing your CME while leaving most of your day for exciting water activities, playing in the sand, or chillin’ in a beachfront bar.


Physician CME Sailing Charters in the Caribbean

CME Courses on Good Medicine are in DVD format and can be viewed at your leisure.  Most docs like to view the continuing medical education DVDs in the early morning with their coffee before the rest of the family is up.  It takes about an hour and a half each day for a typical 10-credit CME course.  The standard courses are listed below.

WANDERBIRD returns to Cuelbra this winter

Wanderbird will be returning to the Caribbean this winter (2010/11 winter season), based in Cuelbra in the lesser-known Spanish Virgin Islands...

The Wanderbird is based in Culebra this winter for week-long cruises departing from and returning to this magical island.

It is incredibly beautiful around the Spanish Caribbean Islands. Snorkeling, climbing for fresh coconuts, pale blue warm salty water, amazing cute little seaside towns, roaming wild horses originally brought by the Spaniards on Vieques, iguanas and wild chickens on Culebra and post card beaches... life is good. Come join us!

Located about nineteen miles east of Puerto Rico and eight miles north of Vieques, Culebra is the smallest of the inhabited Spanish Virgin Islands. She is seven miles long and 3 miles wide. Her many beaches are some of the most beautiful in the world.

Culebra is an arid island, having no rivers or streams. She gets her water from Puerto Rico via Vieques. Because of the lack of run-off from streams and rivers, Culebra boasts crystal clear waters with sixty feet of visibility on a bad day.

Culebra is an island municipality under the domain of Puerto Rico, which has been under the protection of the United States, since its annexation from Spain in 1898. In 1909 the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge was established. The refuge takes in over one thousand four hundred acres of land and is well known both as a nesting area for numerous seabirds, as well as the endangered leatherback turtle and Culebra giant anole.

Culebra has about three thousand residents. The quiet, unspoiled island has little to offer in nightlife, except for a quiet, safe walk in the moonlight or the occasional sound of guitar music from one of her few night spots. The island has little crime and very little to do, but relax at the beach or your favorite watering hole. The snorkeling and scuba diving around Culebra are outstanding. Hard and soft corals abound in the shallows and magnificent reefs encircle the island. Tropical fish and other sea life abound. The depths rarely exceed one hundred feet.

Come with Wanderbird on a sea adventure to explore the Caribbean island of Cuelbra (winter 2010/11) with your hosts Captains Rick and Karen. Share their dream of life on the sea on their renovated 90-foot Dutch fishing vessel, the WANDERBIRD.
