Grenada to Antigua
Locations & Dates:
Route
We will sail through the beautiful windward islands starting in Grenada. Depending on the wind, and the mood of the crew, we will sail north stopping at most or all of the bigger islands like St. Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe and finally Antigua, covering a total of around 450nm. These places are not just islands, but distinct countries with different languages and different cultures, each of them with beautiful beaches, awesome snorkelling and diving sites, rainforests and turquoise waters. Grenada is English speaking, with English heritage, and awesome food. The Grenadines are known for pristine and crystal clear waters full of gigantic rays and Martinique is French, part of the European Union. Amazing rainforests, French cheese and sea turtles everywhere. But I haven't been to all of these places before either, so it's going to be an adventure!
Activities
Well, it's going to be Christmas, and New Years! The Carribean is famous for its vibe and th parties. It's really special to spend Christmas under palm trees and enjoy the sun when we recover from the new years hangover from the local "Ti-Punch". We are member of the Young Cruisers Association, they organise parties and floatchellas in the carribean and we will be sure to join some other cuisers, because more people = more fun. In general, we will explore the islands, enjoy the amazing fresh fruit & sea food, go fishing and spearfishing, learn how to sail and do a lot of sunbathing. Bring your free diving or snorkelling gear if you like, there is plenty of marine life to explore along the way.
Travel to and from the Boat
You can fly to Grenada with some major airlines. Antigua too! In both places we will be in ports that are easily accessible from the airport.
