Thanks - very helpful. My wife and I did sail through the area on an instructional trip (ASA105/106) from Grenada to Tortola in October so spent overnights at Sandy Island, Tobabo Cays and Bequia on the way through and fell in love, haha. When we left Grenada, the winds were such that we had a close haul to Carriacou but made it on a single tack - and it was not a hard, pounding beat which it sounds like is typically the case in the spring.
