We just finished a 10 day
charter in early February on a
Lagoon 420 from St. Lucia south to
Grenada then back via St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Overall we did 300 nautical miles, and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
We are seriously considering chartering the same
boat again mid January 2014 and this time heading north to take in
Martinique,
Dominica and Guadaloupe.
Two Questions I have are:
- What
cruising guides are recommended for
Dominica and Guadaloupe? I have Chris Doyle's Cruiser's Guide to the
Windward Islands so
Martinique is covered.
- We realize that Dominica and Guadaloupe aren't as developed as St. Lucia and south, so for those of you that have been there, what should we expect? (I can't find much on any of the
forums.) Our group has no problem being off the beaten track. We sailed from
La Paz north to Loreto in the
Sea of Cortez for example, and loved that.
Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
