Ahoy! You Bahama boaters who endure the ICW, the cold fronts, the skinny
water and the high prices should bite the bullet and sail the easy way to the
Eastern Caribbean - 10-14 days direct from Beaufort to the BVI. Don't forget to
let the Caribbean 1500 "rally" lemmings go first - because they are on a
schedule, they will invariably run into heavy wx, so if you leave after they
do, you will have smooth sailing and will have gotten away without spending a
fortune in the WM store!
