Yes, those cautions have been around for some time. Probably why CaribGirl goes right past St V to Bequia. I had posted a question about skipping the first point of entry in the Caribbean forum, so I guess that’s ok to do. Question to be addressed in charter boat briefing.

Thanks CaribGirl for the offer, we’re still in the initial planning stages, not booked yet.


Yes, exactly why we typically skip St. Vincent. We have gone to St. Vincent on the way back up the chain and stayed in Blue Lagoon. There is a cute little bar/restaurant there that we enjoyed. Be mindful of the tides when entering the bay. If you radio the marina they will usually send someone out to help you through the cut and show you which mooring ball to use.
