Party Girl, Indeed

Believe me, I was well aware that my smiling mug was probably the last thing the captain of Party Girl wanted to see. He and his crew had pulled into Gustavia Harbor in St. Barts just minutes before I met them at the customs office, following their more than two-month, some 6,000-mile delivery of the new 146-foot Christensen from the shipyard in Vancouver, Washington.
