Their other sailing location in the Caribbean is in Grenada though. I must say, this option has peaked my interest. In part cause I have never been that far south in the Caribbean and in part cause I know one day I will want to leave the shelter of the virgin islands and sail in the Windward isles.
Anybody on this thread have experience sailing in St. Vincent and the Grenadines? Which would you choose(leaving logistics out of the mix)?
Aah, now you have made things complicated! I have not yet been to the SVI (going in October), but I have been to the Windwards 5 times. If you haven't done St Lucia, Bequia, Mustique, the Tobago Cays, Mayreau, etc, you definitely need to do that at some point, and you will find it very different from the BVI's. When the Moorings still had a base in Canouan, and AA flew in there, it was a convenient jumping off spot (except during the December-January "Christmas winds" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />). Now, I agree with CWoody that a downhill one-way from St Lucia to Grenada is the way to go (although I would overnight at the Pitons, get an early start and sail right on by St Vincent to Bequia). I am sure the Moorings could accommodate your need / desire for a captain.
