Yes; it's something like about £1000 per person for the week including shipping the boat out.

Aruba is on my list "to do".

Warm sailing in November - cannot beat it.  Looks like Stuart Gummer and Gillian Power are running away with it at the moment.  Bit between their teeth after last years disaster.

You could expect to see 15 to 20 knot plus, consistant sea breeze and long swell in one of the worlds most picturesque unspoilt waterways.

44 Capricorns in Oz at the moment.  Plenty in Europe. Another 100 sets of hulls on order for the next 12 months with most of these heading for Europe.
