I think most of them are being used in the day charter business. I know Arthur Dean's Silver Deep and Ed Misick's Catch the Wave both have large pontoon boats in their 'fleets'. Preacher's brother Rock runs the Reef Peeper, which is a pontoon boat with a glass bottom setup.<br /><br />Without going back through Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-72189732084327536502011-06-21T16:37:07.847-04:002011-06-21T16:37:07.847-04:00In all of your posted TCI boat pictures, I have ye...In all of your posted TCI boat pictures, I have yet to see a houseboat, pontoon or deckboat.<br />Have you seen any there?jeepermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045583971042910278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-340597673060603612011-06-21T09:56:58.661-04:002011-06-21T09:56:58.661-04:00my emails have been getting blocked.

And that's to cruise the Bahamas and Central America, mostly. Lots of shallow uncharted water. We are not so interested in the deeper waters around the Lesser Antilles so much, but the Gemini can handle that, too.

No need to feel remorse, I enjoyed your last posts immensely.<br /><br />Having some experience with Tiki huts/sheds/bars/restaurants/etc, I would offer that seeing the world upside down (or from other odd perspectives) at a Tiki establishment is not so unusual. That said, your lack of Tiki knowledge is healthy and entirely admirable. <br /><br />Thanks for the laughs.Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7025068942489566045.post-92175958568548588082011-06-09T10:37:00.454-04:002011-06-09T10:37:00.454-04:00Stunning photos.

If you bought a boat ex-US, sailed it to TCI, parked it, sailed it etc., how long can it stay there before being considered imported? If there is a max amount of time it can stay, how about sailing outside TCI for a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
