Starting to noodle our plans for our charter next May and thinking about what days we should depart the base (Moorings) on.
This year we did a Saturday evening sleep aboard and a Sunday start. Needless to say, things were kind of hectic on both Saturday and Sunday just due to the volume of people coming and going. We did 8 days (1 sleep aboard and 7 sailing nights) so it was basically Saturday to the following Sunday. This worked out well in terms of needing the fewest vacation days but lands us on two weekends.
This year we are saying the heck with vacation days, when is the best time to go/return.
Is there any difference between say, Monday to Tuesday (8 days) vs. Thursday to Friday - or any other combo like that?
Getting off the boat - and flying home - on Friday has the advantage of having the weekend to rest up before work the next week but flying on a Friday might be worse?
I was also thinking about maybe doing the sleep aboard on Sunday since all the Sunday departures would be mostly gone by the time we got to the base - and it would save at least one vacation day.
Any thoughts on any of that? Seems like it wouldn't make much difference but I don't know what I don't know.
Thanks
