We've booked a large cat out of Martinique for a 28 days starting June 3rd. We've enjoyed many 7 day charters but one of our goals for this trip is to get a taste of living instead of vacationing on the water. Our tentative plan is to explore Martinique and then mosey down to St Lucia, St Vincent, Grenadines (probably exclude Grenada) and then back to Martinique. St Lucia and the Grenadines sound like a must see from the comments of others. I've seen mixed opinions on St Vincent and very little regarding Martinique. I apologize in advance if my questions make this thread to broad in scope, but I would appreciate any input on the following:
1. Is our general itinerary to aggressive for a leisurely tour? We are hoping that we will have time to stay a few days in one place if the mood strikes us. Usually not practical on a 7 day charter.
2. Friends would like to join us at some point in the middle of the the trip probably while we are in the Grenadines. If they fly into St Vincent or Grenada would it be easy for them to arrange water transportation to wherever we may be?
3. Will my ATT cell phone work down there? If so is the coverage good or spotty?
4. Sailing conditions for this area in June.
5. Any thoughts on the differences between 7 and 28 days that I should contemplate would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance. Cheers!
