Caribbean Travels

[Karen Hawes]

Hi!

I hope you're doing well! I'm at Antigua now and the captain, his girlfriend, and I are looking at plans for traveling south (by boat) as well as plans for onward travels. I'm contacting you because I'm looking for contacts along the way and possible suggestions for places to visit. We'll be going around interviewing people about waste management and recycling (if that exists) and some fun touring too, as time allows.

I wish I could say that we're going to stay at Bequia for a good long visit but the captain needs to return to the states, after putting it in port somewhere either at Grenada or Trinidad, so it may only be a one-day stop for the three of us. We'll see how things pan out, when we get there.

Here's a rough sketch of our plans:

01/30 Sail from Antigua to Deschau, Guadeloupe

01/31 Tour Guadeloupe

02/01 Sail from Deschau, Guadeloupe to Basse Terre, Guadeloupe

02/02 Tour Basse Terre, Guadeloupe

02/03 Sail from Basse Terre, Guadeloupe to Les Saintes

02/03 Tour Les Saintes

02/04 Sail from Les Saintes to Dominica

02/05 Tour Dominica (Portsmouth)

02/06 Sail from Portsmouth, Dominica to Roseau, Dominica

02/07 Sail from Roseau, Dominica to Martinique

02/08 Tour Martinique

02/09 Sail from Martinique to St. Lucia

02/10 Tour St. Vincent

02/11 Sail from St. Lucia to St. Vincent

02/12 Tour St. Vincent

02/13 Sail from St. Vincent to Bequia

02/14-02/16 Sail from Bequia to Grenada, stopping at islands along the way

02/16 Tour Grenada

There are about two weeks of time not accounted for in this, which could mean more time is spent in places and more places are visited. For now, this is what I'm putting down as "the plans" (all subject to change, of course)!

The captain plans to either fly out of Grenada or sail on to Trinidad and fly out of Trinidad by the first weekend of March. I can get off the boat pretty much at any point, but am aiming for as close to South America as possible (that plan may change, though); so I may get off the boat earlier - anything is possible at this point.

Please feel free to forward this to anyone and I hope to see all who may be around to visit!

Karen
