Just look at the sand flea carnage:

| Approaching Road Town |
...as we headed into Road Town to be greeted by Ben from Conch Charters who drove Firebolt into a slip, arriving at approximately 09:30.
We spent some time cleaning up the boat and packing our bags
Here is what we had left over from the trip:
We left this for the cleaning staff.
Ben did a boat de-briefing with us.
They sent a diver in the water to check the keels, rudders, and saildrives.
We identified several problems with the boat.
- Oil Filler Cap
There was oil in the starboard engine compartment that needed a major cleaning - Chart Plotter
Nice Raymarine E7 plotter, but no charts on it.
Basically useless for navigation; no chart detail at all. - Boat Tablet
Old Samsung tablet that was slow and the touch screen didn't work to well. - Life Jackets
These looked OLD and had damaged/missing straps
Unusable in an emergency
Doubt that some of them would float! - Mainsail Batcar
A nut had fallen out of one of the bat cars on one of the battens.
Needed replacement. - Headsail furling drum
There weren't enough wraps on the furling drum to completely furl it.
We added a couple, and the line was now too short. - Fridge
The freezer worked, but the fridge did not.
There was a loose wire hanging down (perhaps the themostat sensor?) - Interior Trim
I pointed out several places where the vinyl trim was separating form the doors.
Easy fix to glue on now before it breaks off permanently
These weren't major issues, but should be addressed for the next charter.
I would rather tell them about it so they could address them.
