The Boat Show is over, and today the Crews and a few of the Brokers started their day relaxing at the Yacht Haven Grande pool and some even moved the party on to Secret Harbor Resort beach.
Yes, there was an after-party today! Many of the Crews have charters that start on Saturday, so they had one more day to relax before they started their provisioning details. Since their yachts are
all charter-ready, it gave them one more day to relax and enjoy the time off before their real work begins – six to seven months of hosting charter guests. And, some of the Brokers are stay an extra day or two, since they are already on-island. The day started pool-side at Yacht Haven Grande, and 
then transitioned in the afternoon to Secret Harbor.
Since many of the charters will be starting this Saturday at American Yacht Harbor, it made sense to move to the Red Hook side of the island for the rest of the after-party. Secret Harbor is the perfect location for any party. Even some floaties showed up so cocktails could be consumed while sunning in the water.
There even was some fun happening at the outdoor showers.
The sunset set with more goodbyes, and some were even planning on participating in Jonny and Meredith’s wedding tomorrow. Remember them? they are the adorable crew from s/y Conundrum. Yes, they have been planning a wedding for months 
so it coincided with the Boat Show. That way their family and friends could fly down for the wedding, and all of their very special Crew friends could join them, too.
The light started to dim and we watched another glorious Caribbean sunset. The
“Charter Gang” started to dispurse for the actual start of another very successful charter yacht season. And, the mantra we talked about several times today that many are now going to post in their crew quarters to read each morning when they get up to face another day of customer service is;
“Today I will declare a commitment to a result that has no present evidence of possibilities. Let’s make miracles happen today!”
