Where you go after checkout obviously could be impacted by your first question. We’ve done both CW and CCW - typically based on wave and wind direction - but also at times to avoid the flow of boats during busier times. Another factor is where you want to end up on nights 6 and 7. If this is Jost… going CW, then out to North Sound and Anegada, and then back to Jost is a lot of running. However, if you skip Jost and do CGB instead on the front side and have a PC, doable. There are a lot of factors in this decision - I would go with the option that is more relaxing for the crew and avoids the rush that can take the joy out of the trip. Hope this helps!
