Guest Etiquette Guidlines?

[Ken Coit]

A friend who has been invited to join a boat in Virgin Gorda this winter asked me if there was anything special she should know or do as a guest. I gave her a few pointers about heads, soft luggage with minimal content, and personal space, but I seem to remember seeing a fairly comprehensive list of expectations in the last few years. Maybe it was on this board, in a magazine, or merely a dream.

Does anyone else have any memory of a "perfect crew guide"?

Thanks,

Ken

make sure she takes something for the boat (which is actually the owners) like a good bottle of wine or champagne.

Answering my own question for the record:

Guest Afloat: the Essential Guide to Being a Welcome Guest on Board a Boat.
by Bradfield, Barbara
ISBN: 0943400945

I suppose it includes the suggested bottle of wine or champagne, but my friend already knew that; she bought us a bottle when we purchased Parfait.
