This was a remarkable experience for me. I have not been too into boats in general for most of my life, so I wanted to break down my hesitance. I couldn't have picked a better way to do it. Fernando was super nice and accommodating before I arrived, when I checked in, and when I checked out. He presented as someone who is laid back, but entirely competent and knowledgeable about his boat.
It was unusually cool and windy when I was there, and around 4am the wind really picked up. There was a considerable amount of noise from the wind whistling through the cables and shaking things topside, but the boat did not rock very hard at all. The noise woke me, but I was able to get right back to sleep.
Everything about the experience was awesome, and made me think I might want to go on a boat ride of some length, which before this stay would have been out of the question.
Thanks Fernando!
