Hello all. Well time of the year that we are planning our next sailing adventure. After a very successful 8 day cruise with my wife and 3 other couples on a DYC 47 Saona from Grenada to the SVGs and back - Looking to get back to the windward isles but this time thinking of starting in St Lucia. Basically this is because of flight logistics. St. Lucia has flights from Canada on multiple airlines multiples days. St, Vincent only has Air Canada Thursdays and Sundays. This would allow us to get in on a Friday, sleep aboard, get off as early as possible on the Sat and then return on the Sat as well.

We are trying to decide if we want to do a St. Lucia return cruise down to the Grenadines and back. We know that the first day down from the Pitons to Bequia will be a long sail but mostly a broad reach. We are concerned about the trip back, however. How bad can the return trip be? Is it generally as bad as the leg from the Top of Grenada - Carriacou? not sure we want to subject ourselves to 9 hours beating back

Also thinking of looking into Barefoot charters as an option. Any feed back on them? thanks!

We will be 4-5 guys (no wives this time) and we will be travelling in April 2020. thx

Jeremy
