hi, i am crossing the atlantic in december 2006 and am still trying to decide where to leave my boat for a few months when i arrive while i head back to work..since it will not be hurricane season i have a few options, at this stage I am tossing up between Grenada and Saint Maarten.....but am open to advice

1. do i have to book a marina ahead of time this early in the season?

2. i am swaying towards grenada because of the costs... i have a 42ft monohull and grenada is quoting around 500/month while Saint Maarten is closer to 800/month. Does anyone recommend anywhere else. But take into account I will leave the boat unattended and need good security..

3. Can you move easily north or south in the islands or is one direction better than the other.. i am guessing with the trade winds running east to west than both ways are the same???

thanks
