Re: Bareboat charter advice needed!!

I have bareboated in both places. The weather in Antigua always seems to be perfect. No sure why, whenever we are there, there are clouds all around but the sun is shining in Antigua. It is a...

Re: I'm Walking Away from my Boat

I feel your pain as well. I think all of us have tried to save a few bucks on a project and ended up blowing far more in the end. I am an avid sailor but would never own my own boat. I charter all...

Does anyone know of any great scuba dives that you can do directly from your yacht in any of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean? We are heading there shortly and will be touring all around. We...

Re: Passage from Anguilla to Barbuda

We are on a 47' Cat. We want to get from Anguilla to Barbuda as painlessly as possible. I have no problem stopping overnight in St Barts but I figured that route would give us a worse angle of...

Re: New Guy Questions

I think before you try living on a boat you should try sailing a boat. Living on a boat is really the result of loving to sail. Get a flight to the British Virgin Islands, charter a catamaran from...

Re: Leeward Islands

Okay, thanks. Not to hijack this thread but it seemed like pertinent info to the original question. If you are only anchoring in a bay and not going on-shore can you fly a "Q" flag and just leave...

Re: Beginner Sailing off Australia's East Coast

You should definitely go sailing while you are there. I chartered a 40ft catamaran out of Airlie Beach with no ocean sailing experience at all, and I mean NONE! I had sailed 12 foot Hobies a few...

Re: St Martin to Antigua Feb 2012

Your course to Antigua should be determined by the wind at the time. Predictions are hard to make, especially about the future. I think there will be a range of options available for you on this...

Re: Which islands? St.Martin or Guadeloupe

Why choose? Do a one-way sail from Guadeloupe to St Martin and see both.

Re: Trucking to California, Sailing to Hawaii and More . . .

Here's another suggestion...It seems like you are working way too hard to get this boat from one side of the world to the other to be a part-time cruiser. I think you should sell the boat where it...

Thumbs up Re: One Way Caribbean Charter

Hi CaptJohn, in my opinion, if you are sailors, I think you could easily cover that distance in two weeks. I have sailed from Antigua to St Maarten in one over-night and I know it is no farther than...

Re: Itinerary for St. Martin Bareboat

I have bareboated out of St Maarten a couple times and we always dive as much as possible. Our goal is to dive right off the back of the catamaran or, at most, take a short dinghy ride from the...

They didn't have any music up at Shirley Heights on the Thursday that we were there. I would have loved that. We left St Johns at 5PM and arrived in Philipsburg at 7AM. Our chart plotter was...

I will look for suitable achorages for sure. I can't sleep in rolly seas. Would the Pinney's Beach anchorage on Nevis be ill-advised with a West or South swell? I am not exactly sure where on the...
