The Mediterranean to Caribbean switch

Med: yards, daywork, short hops, fashion, a certain kind of lunch. Caribbean: longer passages, humidity that laughs at your linen, Christmas charters, a different water, a different tired.

Pack for both if you are a rotating chief. The white shirts that worked in Antibes will betray you in St Barth if you have not planned the laundry. Humidity is an interior problem. Own it.

Guests in December are not guests in August. Families, children, a different drinking pattern, a different clock. Reset the book. Reset yourself.
