Another Barracuda sailing adventure draws to a close.
Started: Virginia, USA – October 2018
Ended: Grenada, East Caribbean – April 2019
Distance covered – 3,159 nautical miles
This trip included the US Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and the “Thorny Path” - a couple of sailing classics.

A few memories from along the way:
Virginia – the start of the ICW – the Great Dismal Swamp
North Carolina – endless waterside homes
South Carolina – Charleston and even more waterside homes (only bigger)
Georgia – Savannah, beautiful wilderness and abundant wildlife
Florida – the kindness of strangers and the end of the ICW
The Bahamas – friends and family visiting, gin clear water and totally amazing snorkelling in the Exumas – and lots of sharks
Turks & Caicos Islands – making new friends for passages south
Puerto Rico – visiting the EL Yunque Rain Forest
US Virgin Islands – an unbelievably rude beach lifeguard (how’s that for your islands to be remembered by!)
British Virgin Islands – more charter catamarans than you can shake a big stick at
St Maarten – lots of boat work preparing Barracuda for the Pacific (that’s a bit of a spoiler for our next planned trip)
Guadeloupe – the endless winds of Deshaies – also known for ‘Death in Paradise’
Montserrat – the power of nature (a volcano)
Dominica – the power of nature (recovery from a hurricane)
Bequia – East Caribbean heaven
Grenada – the end of the line for now.
Looking forward to seeing family and friends and enjoying the comforts of home.
Thanks to all our loyal readers for being with us along the way.
