Inquire about new rental companies and enter into contract with them. Update marketing materials. Take new pictures that testify to upgrades and re-release your villa to all rental agents. Increase rental rates and circulate to all agencies 14. Invite rental agents to tour your property or even to enjoy a complimentary stay. Agents who have seen your villa personally and know it intimately are more likely to recommend it to guests While September and October traditionally have the lowest occupancy rate, if used wisely, this period can result in a more successful rental property. With improvements to your villa, upgraded amenities, and updated marketing, your vacation rental property can enjoy higher occupancy in 2017.

SEA tragic loss of life and limb. Whole families have been displaced and it is only fitting that a day be set aside as a National Day to remember all of them and the sacrifice they made to bring us to where we are today. In planning this first of what will be an annual ceremony, we were faced with many challenges not the least of which is that there has never been a record—to my knowledge—of who was lost at sea over the years. I have records of different vessels that were lost and—in most cases—crew and passengers, but they are individual and incomplete at best. The great challenge that we are faced with at the Maritime Museum is to compile that list and in chronological order. We don’t even know the complete list of those lost on the Fancy Me. I have added three additional names over the past years when family members informed me of relatives not on the list. Passenger manifests in the past were not kept in the strict fashion they are today; many people joined a sloop or vessel at the last minute before sailing, and we will never know who they were. When putting together the programme for this year’s event, it was decided to include only those vessels that we had certain knowledge of. We listed vessels that were lost in a 40-year period between 1902 and 1942. This list included six vessels and 90 souls that were lost. In addition to a concentrated effort through
Escape for a Day on Your Own Private Yacht
our continued research, our list will soon be on display at the Maritime Museum and a provision made for the public to add names and vessels that might be missing. There is another aspect to these tragedies which has had a profound effect on my feelings. In most cases when a sloop is lost, there are many members of one family either as crew and/ or passengers on board. The loss of one of these vessels often devastates a particular family
