Hi DDW,

... The costs of cruising just keep going up, up, UP... (grin)

Not too many years ago, I helped Dan Y and Rey load TROPICAL DANCE aboard a Dockwise ship in Lauderdale, for the trip back to Ensenada... Perhaps Dan will confirm, but I don't recall the cost being anything close to that...

Dockwise is THE future of 'voyaging'... Seems just a matter of time before there will be a 'Dockwise Rally to the Caribbean', now THAT would be taking the notion of 'Sailing in Company' to a whole new level, make it a party the whole way... (grin)

Good luck, and best regards,

Jon
