Thanks for your welcome! I was embarrassed to admit to living in such a great place. I moved from UK 15 years ago.
Yes, i need lots of help and would welcome a ribnet flotilla here.! Come on down.

Its not all perfect...we have earthquakes, hurricanes and mosquitos!
...not to mention pelican poo........

Its tough on ribs, with the strength of the sun......have had to invest in a full cover .
I have spent too much of my savings, but "you are a long time dead ".

A friend here has an XS rib, bought in 2008.
Its a strong, safe boat.
It is perfect for the sea conditions around the islands here.
That what i have decided on....plus its made in UK.
I may be far from home, but its good to fly the flag.

There is so much choice.......most ribs here are tenders to rented boats.
Caribe or novurania.....
