I can only speak for "my" area (Grenada to St. Lucia), but the Imray-Iolare
charts are far superior for these areas, and the guides by Chris Doyle are great. Most of my guests think that the
Tobago Keys are wonderful (I like 'em, too), and I'm quite fond of Bequia (some great places to provision). My personal taste, however, is to get away from the crowds ... and if I told you where I go, well ... you get the idea!! ;-)
St. Georges,
Grenada is also excellent for
provisioning.
Tyrrel Bay on Carriacou is a wonderful place for
repairs, upgrades, etc. Excellent little boat yard (it's where I keep La Nostra off season), a Frenchman on a barge for great
aluminum and stainless work, a good sail loft which will also do all sorts of
canvas work,
cushions, etc. and some very good
food (especially Pizza!!!)
Hey - come on down, wander around a bit and make your own choices!
Oh, yes - we're below the
hurricane belt and 99% miss us, but try telling that to the victims of Ivan in '05!
