Havent done it yet! This is our intentions for next May. I assume that it will be similar to the slog from Grenada to Carriacou. But you are right if wind is north of east it will be difficult. We will have to play it by ear and hope the wind is south of east for more of a beam reach. There have been other posters that say they clear out early and head direct to bequia from Carriacou and it is an easier sail than the Grenada to Carriacou beat. We’ll see!


Take it from someone that’s spent a LOT of time in that area. Clear out Carriacou - Clear in @ Union. ***Pressures off***. What’s different than the BVI’s is Ocean rollers between Islands. Get a little N. Swell and a little east wind and some of the crew will have enough in about 3 hrs. between Islands. Luck out and everytings cool go to Bequia – A must stop – things don’t look so great stop at the Cay’s
