Speaking of adventure... ;-)

No seriously, I want to ask a weird question (or three) on this here
Friday afternoon. Have any of you ever chartered a boat, preferably a
sailboat, in Georgia or Florida?  Know any captains or small companies
that run such? And any idea of how much such a thing would cost???

Here's what I'm thinking of:  Small-to-medium-sized boat (with crew,
since I don't know how to sail!), full (basic OK) facilities for living
and bunking at least 5 (3 paying travelers, and the boat crew), sailing
from Miami, ambling around the Keys and Caribbean for a week or so
around Spring Break time.  [We are oh SO not the cruise ship types.]
Plan would be to visit out-of-the-way places and experience true low-key
ocean/island life, with probably some hiking on various islands and
perhaps some snorkeling and critter-watching.

Since this would prevent the need for plane tickets, hotel rooms, and
rental cars, we could collectively drop a fair amount on it, but I have
no idea if our "fair amount" is anywhere near *their* "fair amount."

Pretty odd questions for a bunch of IRC'ing, PHP'ing, cluster-debating,
pasty-faced geeks in North Carolina, but you never know. ;-)
