DO YOU WANT TO WORK ON YOUR SAILING SKILLS?

OR JUST WORK ON YOUR TAN?

Our friend Holly Scott will be skippering a gorgeous charter boat May 9-15 in Thailand, and you are invited to come along (see Holly’s note below). I’ll be joining as first mate and we promise to have a belly-laughing great time and work on sailing skills (or not - as you individually desire) while cruising the beautiful, idyllic, exotic Andaman Sea off Phuket, Thailand !!

For this trip you don’t need a visa but you do need a valid passport - and there’s still time to get one (or get yours renewed)! No crazy immunizations required either … just a tube of sunscreen and a desire to enjoy life to its fullest.

We already have a 44 ft. yacht nearly filled but want to enjoy this adventure with as many friends as possible, so will upgrade to a 51-footer to make room for e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y! This is a great opportunity, at an awesome price, and we hope you’ll join us.

From Holly:

Hello Ladies! As you may have heard, I'm doing a women's charter to Thailand with Latitudes and Attitudes Magazine this May. Our boat is filling up quickly but if we get a few more ladies signed up, we will upgrade to a larger boat and have even more fun! This can be a learning trip, a practice your skills trip or just a deck fluff trip for you.

I will be joined by my good pal Betsy Crowfoot and I absolutely guarantee you that between the two of us, you will laugh your head off while on this trip! On our sail back from Hawaii last summer, we had to call breaks from talking because we had cramps in our cheeks from laughing non stop. Oh, and she's a great sailor too! And she cooks!

So here's the skinny: May 9-16 out of Phuket. Costs including breakfast, lunch and one or two dinners on board are $1,995 each for a shared cabin, $2,900 for a single cabin, and $2,200 for a bunk in the saloon. Airfare, dinners ashore and lodging are not included. Airfare is about $1,200. I have a travel agent lined up to take care of your travel needs.

Piggy back this charter with a few days to explore Thailand, and you end up with a fabulous trip. Much more fun that the run of the mill sailing course, new friends and maybe we can kick some butt on the rest of the magazine fleet. Oh, great Thai food, snorkeling, boat food, no yelling, helm time, anchoring practice, sail trim, more Thai food, fun, warm weather, and water.

So what are you waiting for? Contact me RIGHT AWAY if you are interested as there are only a few spots left and the deposit is due soon to secure which boat we want.

Thanks, and I hope to hear from you!
Holly Scott
