Caribbean Winter Destinations?

[Gunni]

OK, so she's on me to get away to the Carib this winter. Been a while. Don't have time to spot the boat or lime-to-long, so this will be a fly-in charter destination, and a 10 day sail operation. Want to be close to the equator - for effective treatment of our inevitable Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

Looking for glorious recommendations -locales/destinations between Martinique and St. Kitts. North of St. Vince. Someplace with good shore-side hang-outs and scenery. We are island savvy, just need the belonger skinny. Christmas Trades, romping passages and such - no problem. Thanks!

Why not St. Vincent? We had a great charter there in 2010. Great sailing, nice islands, etc.

Try Virgin Gorda. Lots of great chartering opportunities there. A great place to go in mid-winter.

We've spent some quality time on the south coast of St.Vincent, dropping people off for the flight out. Never really explored the rest of the island. The Grenadines are spectacular. Almost bought land in Bequia a few year ago, it is that nice. Virgin Gorda is really nice and we've been there many times. I think I"m still banned at Saba Rock bar. However, it has become a tourist destination and too commercialized, especially in the winter. Sort of like Key West - too easy to get to. May try to hold her off until March and the Antigua classic boat festivities . May even go down to Trinidad for Carnival.

I sure hope

I sure hope thats not a high class bar. Personally I would never ever admit to being thrown out or banned from a high class bar. Now a dive is a totally different story.
