CRUISING GROUND We confine our Cruising Ground as far as possible between Antigua and Grenada for the simple but very important reason that the Trade Wind always blows across the general line of advance, thus it is possible to make smart passages, to keep to time schedules, and to provide delightful calm water sailing in the lee of the many Islands amongst which open sea passages are of short duration, and an anchorage may nearly always reached by nightfall. In addition the Islands covered are quite the most interesting, i.e. ANTIGUA, GUADELOPE, ILES-de-SAINTES, DOMINICA, MARTINIQUE, St. LUCIA, St. VINCENT, THE GRENADINES, GRENADA. The total distance involved is approximately 300 miles which may be sailed in about three days, but to visit all the delightful out-of-the-way harbours and anchorages, and to have time ashore in each Island, up to three weeks would be required. V. E. B. NICHOLSON & SONS Box 103, ST. JOHN'S ANTIGUA, B.W.I. It would be impossible even in one month to visit all the Caribbean Islands within our cruising area, but a very large number of Islands and places may be visited in this time, with many alternative routes, and here are a few suggestions:- 9. Antigua to Saba, then as in cruise No. 5 but continuing from the Iles Des Saintes southward to St. Lucia, and further if time permits, then making St. Lucia the finishing point. 10. Antigua to Grenada, or in the reverse direction, embracing all the Islands en route, and including Barbados if required. 2 [[map]] Yacht Cruising in the Caribbean [[drawing of a whale, sailboat, compass, map of islands]] 0 50 100 150 Nautical Miles Puerto Rico Virgin Is St Thomas US Anguilla St Martin St Barts St Croix US Barbuda Saba Statia St Kitts Antigua (Br) English Hr Yacht "Mollihawks" Base Box 103 Nevis Monserrat Deshayes B'terre Saintes Guadeloupe Fr Mariegalante Portsmouth Roseau Dominica Br Fort de France Martinique Fr.
