Well Friday night after a long discussion about the influx of tourists and whether he should reveal his contacts we're three beers in he finally reveals that he picks his boats up either from the boatyards in Chapora or from Siolim.

He justs turns up with cash and does the deal with the cheapest he can find. Costs - another riddle. He says "no more than you'd pay for a hotel".

Not sure if he meant what I would pay or what he would pay but the worse way that's 1500 rupees per night.

Sorry guys, not much help really.

My tip would be to get the postcard and hit the beach instead.
