Sonosailor plans to "take a quick route through Bermuda, BVI to Trinidad and Tobago, followed by 5-6 months of slowly moseying back to Canada"

This itinerary doesn't seem (to me) to be leaving much time to stop/visit/explore recommended anchorages etc. Sounds more like an express trip.

I know 2500mi (+-) divided by 150 days is only 16-17 miles/day average. Tho' we've never done the Windwards, it still seems quick to me. Of course, I'm a real "lazy" cruiser.

Have you plotted some weekly / monthly schedules?

Regards,
