I have had a dream about sailing the Caribbean, hence the email
address, and I have some questions about it.

1) I am curious about the fees that are associated with the individual
islands for a 35 foot sailboat. Particularly the costs of islands in
the Lesser Antilles. I have looked on local websites, but they are
really hard to find actual costs. Ballpark estimates a just fine.

2) What about short term mooring fees (2-3 days), do they tend to be
expensive there?

3) Also, this will be my first fairly open water sailing experience.
What are some things that I need to know about making Caribbean hops
that I might not think of.

I'd suggest Bruce van Sant's "The Gentleman's Guide to Passages South"
as a primer.

Then I'd suggest the cruising stories from http://cruisenews.net/,
particularly the logs of Destiny Calls:

They're slightly dated, but will give you a starting point.
