Caribbean Dreamin’ is what we’ll be doing on a beam reach out to Anegada island, where we’ll swim in the lagoon at Cow Wreck beach. It’s our state of mind at a full moon beach party, snorkeling at the Dogs and relaxing with a glass of rosé on the back of the boat at sunset. We’ll all become better sailors having lots of fun together! And if you want to take coastal cruising ASA 103 and bareboat navigation ASA 104, you can do that, too!  I enjoy teaching, racing J24s, sailing in the club’s 12 Meter program and especially cruising.

Leave the frigid January behind as you discover this sailing paradise with a careful skipper who will emphasize comfort, delicious food and camaraderie — with an emphasis on exploring some of the off-the-beaten-path treasures of the Islands (like the Bubbly Pool and secret snorkeling sites).
