then if time permits to St. Vincent or Martinique and return to St. Lucia.  

Note—All the above are very fine cruises, with a very large proportion of sheltered water sailing, but only allow for a short stay in each place.

FOURTEEN DAYS

4. St. Lucia, St. Vincent, the Grenadines (Bequia, Cannouan, Union, Mayaro for Tobago Cays, Carriacou) and Grenada.  
Note—This is a very fine cruise with good harbours and lovely beaches.  A large proportion of sheltered water sailing.  Can be done just as easily in the reverse direction.

5. Antigua to Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Guadelope, Iles Des Saintes, and if time permits to Dominica and return to Antigua.  
Note—This is a good cruise, close hauled on the return journey, but, mostly in the lee of the islands.

6. Antigua, Guadeloupe, Iles Des Saintes, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, thence if time permits to part of the Grenadines, and return to St. Lucia.  Note—This is a very fine cruise, probably the best, there being much sheltered water sailing, good harbours, and many places of interest.  May be done just as easily in the reverse direction.

7. From St. Thomas visiting the Virgin Islands, Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua.  
Note—Good cruise but nearly all windward sailing, either close hauled or dead beat to windward.  Blue Water sailing and probably rough.  In this cruise we cannot return Charterers to St. Thomas, as it is impossible to estimate accurately the time required to return to Antigua or other ports in the Leeward and Windward Islands for succeeding Charterers.

8. St. Lucia, Martinique, Barbados, Grenada, the Grenadines, St. Vincent, and return to St. Lucia.  
Note—Very good Blue Water sailing.  Martinique to Barbados would be close hauled and probably rough.

TWENTY-EIGHT DAYS

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.
