Thanks for the replies Sammy and Maria/Steve. Makes the trip look more favorable and gets me excited to present it to the family. I'm really hoping to expand our chartering beyond the northern Caribbean and possibly nudge the family a little closer to a more long term sailing plan. Meeting up with some of the Arc families probably wouldn't hurt my cause. Also nice that we are less likely to get into bad weather in April versus earlier in the year - though of course I understand that it can still happen.
