North or South? Boat problems...

[davedindubai]

Hi guys,

We just arrived in St Lucia with the Arc and are now trying to decide what way to go. Our overall target is Panama for May and would like to get as far north as the Bahamas and see as much of the Caribbean as possible.

I’m interested in any cruising / route recommendations people may have including a good spot for xmas and new year.

We prefer anchorages and are on a Lagoon 450.

Thanks for your tips / advice.

Dave and Hayley
