Captain - Temporary / Seasonal - Barbados

We are looking for a skipper for a family charter out of Barbados just after Christmas this year. It will be on our 2007 Harmony 52 that will have just finished an Atlantic crossing. The family is a married couple and their two teenage children wanting to cruise around the island, do some exploring, and stay on the boat in the evenings. They have been warned other than when first embarking and disembarking they will use the dingy to go to and from shore, and the swells can be quite large this time of year. Someone already in the Caribbean and who knows the island fairly well would be ideal. Please message if interested.
