977.0. "Seen at Man O War Cay" by BUFFER::WILSON () Tue May 05 1992 14:24

    I had the opportunity to spend the five days on a Grand Banks 42
    that we chartered in Marsh Harbor, Abaco, Bahamas in early April.

    When we were visiting Man-O-War cay, I spotted a 17 foot Boston
    Whaler with a big Merc on it.  Bigger than any Merc I had ever seen
    on a 17 foot.  I looked at the the motor, and it had a "90" decal
    on it.  But that was no 90, it was a 135 or 150!  Then I saw the
    name of the boat "Big Joke".  Interesting humor.

    The outfit that we chartered from was Sunsail.  Their fleet is
    mostly sailboats, but they do have some power boats as well.  We would
    have chartered a sailboat, but the only boat available that fit our
    schedule was the GB 42.

    I was satisfied with Sunsail and would use them again.

    Being able to bring the boat back to their dock and let them clean up,
    is my preference for cruising the Bahamas.  The joy of using it 
    without the hastle and headache of owning it.
