When word started circulating in the Caribbean in late January, early February that the engineer aboard M/Y Charisma was missing, Capt. Jared Burzler fielded scores of e-mails from friends and others concerned.
Most yacht crew know it’s difficult to figure out what to do when it comes to U.S. immigration issues. You do everything you think you should – even things you hear customs and immigration officers tell you to do, or things you read in your trusted newspaper – and then when you get to the point of entry into the U.S., everything goes wrong.
I love this time of year. Captains and crew are everywhere, and hundreds of them pop in to say hi when they pick up their tickets for our big boat show party. We bumped into Capt. Scotty Miller, formerly of M/Y Lady Jenn, who took over command of the 35m Benetti M/Y Grand Coroto in mid-October.
I’m so thrilled to be able to report this month that captains and crew are moving around. After two months of not hearing much news in this department, it’s been fun corresponding with crew again to hear their news of new boats, new crews, new destinations and new accomplish-ments. Here are just a few of the latest.

Does any one else shake their newspapers when they read in the mainstream press stories about owners and their megayachts?
They’re an easy target, I know. Most journalists think the really rich are not like the rest of us (mostly because they don’t know anyone of wealth). So reporters treat them like non-humans and make fun of their money.
Have you ever noticed that whatever is going on in your life suddenly appears around you with friends and colleagues?I’ve never had any kind of illness, disease or hospital stay (except with the birth of my daughter). And until July 8, I could count on one hand the number of people I knew who had had surgery.
David and I hosted a reunion of a crew who worked together 25 years ago and I have never seen my husband laugh as naturally and freely as he did that night.
David spent several formative teenage summers on the dive boat Tropic Bird in the early and mid 1980s, serving as everything from dishwasher on the week-long charters to deckhand washing the boat down with Tide on the four-hour turnarounds.
