We did 90hrs in the first 3mths months. That will set you off right!! We all use the helicopter, not just him when the owner is onboard. Its a tool to help us out and luckily he has a very mature "no expense spared" attitude about it. We don't have to make a profit or answer to shareholders, so his attitude is, whats the point it sitting on the deck gathering dust when we could be using it!! He uses it all the time he is onboard, so it could be a 20min "pop" out to a dive site to meet the dive tender, a few people out to a BBQ on a sandy spit of land, or a full on 200nm trip back to the airport Island, to do guest transfers, and a trip later on that day to do a stores or spares run. One of our last trips was with 500 toilet rolls from Palau, back out to the yacht down island. Like I say, my pilot is never bored!!
