  7. Cruising Under Sail
    Now I know this is going to rub some Caribbean & South Pacific cruisers the wrong way, but please forgive me for saying: I'm trying to get through the Caribbean and the South Pacific as fast as possible (whew! that was the hard part), and get to Thailand from New York as quick as I can. I know...
  8. Cruising Under Sail
    Hey guys, We will be starting our cruise between late February or early March, and likely will be starting in the area between USVI and St Kitts & Nevis. It's a bit sad how late we are starting, but due to work, it's the best we were able to do. I know hurricane seasons starts in June and...

  12. Boat Review Forum
    My wife and I just bought our first sailboat (CS 36 Merlin) sight unseen in the British Virgin Islands. God only knows why, but we decided that we ought to put our budding young careers on hold and go bob around the Caribbean for a year or two. Since both buying a boat sight unseen and quitting...

    Our Sunsail Jeanneau 42i is coming off charter in Tortola late next June. We've decided to keep it and to keep it in the Caribbean for stretches of cruising. The boat will need a little bit of a refit. Any advice on where and when? I had thought that for a professional refit we should probably...
