    Notes
    This is a bona-fide expenses-shared adventure. Your part of the
    expenses is to cover safety equipment, provisioning, tolls, fees, insurance,
    comms, etc. We are expecting a mixture of novices and experienced blue-water
    sailors. During the cruise, all aspects of sailing the vessel will be 
    shared; food will be provided for all meals. You will obtain your own 
    connecting transportation or this can be packaged through special quotation.
    The Sea Star is being equipped with a full complement of safety equipment, 
    including 8 person liferaft, EPIRB, 16-mile radar, autopilot, sideband 
    radio and much more.
    
    Please call Ray on (617) 242-7482 for more details.
