Caribbean bareboating: Guadaloupe/Dominica vs St. Vincent and the Grenadines?
We'll be bareboating for 2 weeks in late May and early June,
tentatively in Guadeloupe and Dominica. We've previously bareboated in the BVIs (twice) and St. Martin/Anguilla/St. Bart's (2002). Can anyone offer comparisons between these 2 areas? Seems like there's less recent cruising information about Guadeloupe and Dominica, and more about St. Vincent and the Grenadines. I sense that they are significantly different cruising experiences but would like to hear others' experiences and opinions. We're looking for: - a variety of nice anchorages; less rolly is good - good snorkeling - fun onshore (bars, restaurants near anchorages; sights onshore) - moderately challenging sailing - friendly people - minimum of hassle (language, money, customs -- only one of us speaks French) Thanks, Ann Bishop |
