We’ve been cruising the Caribbean for 3 months on our boat, Starry Horizons. We spent 13 days sailing Saint Lucia, stopping at the towns of Rodney Bay, Marigot Bay, and Soufrière. Chartering in Saint Lucia We were cruising Saint Lucia via our own sailboat, but there are charter bases in Saint Lucia. The Dream Yacht Charters itinerary includes going…
We arrived from the Saints of Guadeloupe into Prince Rupert Bay at about 6 pm. The sun set shortly after we arrived. When we were about a mile out, we were approached by one of the PAYS guides. We did two fun tours in Dominica: the Island Tour and the Indian River Tour. Portsmouth is…
