During this week our family sailing cruise will concentrate on the Grenadines which is an ideal location for a vacation adventure. The Grenadines are a beautiful range of small islands between St. Vincent and Grenada. They are close together and make for idyllic sailing and anchorages. Our longest sail is about 3 hours in semi-protected waters. We will pick you up at the dock at Young Island Cut, St. Vincent near 13.1342467,-61.20487 .
