St. Vincent is our Caribbean paradise for the 27th week of the year.
During this week our family sailing cruise will concentrate on St. Vincent which is an ideal location for a vacation adventure. St. Vincent has towering mountains, craggy peaks and dramatic precipices. No wonder it was chosen as one of the filming sets for the Pirates of the Caribbean. The Grenadines are considered to be part of St. Vincent. So we spend a total of 3 weeks in this area. This first week will be an easy week for sailing with short sails in protected waters and no passages. We will pick you up at the dock in Wallilabou Bay, St. Vincent on Sunday afternoon near 13.2472800,-61.27242833 . The dinghy dock is in front of the Wallilabou Restaurant & Bar. You can fly into here from many other international airports. You will need a taxi from the airport to the dock. Have the taxi hail the "Family Affair" on channel 9. We will come and pick you up at the dock. We will end the week at the Young Island Cut just south of Kingstown. We will deliver you to the dock there. The taxi is a short drive to the airport.
