Why do most boats cost more than RAGAMUFFIN?

We would rather be sailing then sit at anchor like many other boats, our boat RAGAMUFFIN is paid for and we are your crew.
Our boat is our home.
We are usually up by 7 am and sailing by 9, on most days we have our anchor down for the day by lunch. 
We do not step and fetch it and will not protest if one of our CREW (guests) wants to do the dishes, we encourage everyone to chip in and help. 
You eat out most nights in fine restaurants.
We live in the Virgin Islands all year around, and have been sailing down here for 20 years. 
Foxy, Michael Bean's, Tony Snell, Kareem, Ivan, Sand Man, Seddie, Val, Sammy, John St. John, Debbie, Jason, Prince, Elvit, Baldwin, Jemma, Randy, Wendy, Zeus  to name a few are personal friends.  If you don't know who they are come sailing if we run into them we will be happy to introduce you.
We have the most fun with people that like to get up in the morning, sail, snorkel and go ashore in the afternoon to mingle with the natives
If you expect be waited on hand and foot, start your day with Bloody Mary's and Mimosa's, drink from the open bar in some secluded cove every evening, we are probably not the boat for you.
The Virgin Islands are a "fun" place with, beautiful soft white beaches, warm clear blue water, friendly locals and lots of music and night life. (So Many Beaches, So Many Bars, So Much Sailing, only So Much Time!!)
Some people say we are the people Jimmy Buffet was talking about we he sang "We are the people your parents warned you about".
