Hi Everyone,
It's been awhile (6 or 7 years) since I've sailed the
Caribbean. I'm taking a group of friends on a 49'
Leopard Cat for a month. Any and all input is welcome on the is post. I am a gatherer of information and never too proud to listen to and or take
advice.
Here is the itinerary:
Thursday April 11th,
Fly into Tortola (Beef Island
Airport -EIS) board the
boat at noon the following day (April 12th), do grocery
shopping.
Head out next day for Baths and spend the next few days island hoping and exploring
Anegada Then an overnight sail (**about 12 hours) to St. Martin.
Saturday April 20, (better to arrive a day earlier-April 19th-and board rested)
People depart/arrive at St. Martin (Princess Juliana International Airport- SXM). Then we visit St. Martin,
Anguilla and St Barts.
Saturday April 27,
People arrive/depart St. Martin
airport (Princess Juliana International Airport- SXM) and take the high speed
catamaran ferry to and from the
boat in St Barts. Those flying into
St Martin arrive on April 26th, spend the night and take the
ferry at 9:00am on the 27th. right near St. Martin's airport. Very scenic enjoyable 35 minute trip.
We visit on St. Barts, then sail to St. Kitts (**about 7 hours). After a few days in St. Kitts and or
Nevis we sail to Statia and or
Saba then onto St. Croix (**overnight sail, about 12 hours).
Saturday May 4, (better to arrive a day earlier-May 3-and board rested)
People arrive/depart St. Croix (E. Rholsen Airport -STX) We visit St. Croix, then sail to St. John (**about 5 hours), visit St. John, then sail back to
BVI (**3 hours). Return boat to Tortola by noon Saturday May 11.
Saturday May 11
People depart from Tortola Beef Island airport or buy a sailboat and stay in the
Caribbean forever.
**Sailing times are approximate. Depends on
wind,
current etc..
Just know without doubt that we have to be there in port for all arrivals and departures.
