Thanks for the rich detail! We have signed on as crew for as long as it takes, so we don't have to go out and make bad weather choices. We all like sailing so will make some miles when conditions are good. I do think we'll have time to see some nice spots and relax.

We do have to pay attention to skinny water as Bizim's draft is about 6 1/2 feet.

I haven't been to these waters at all before other than the first little bit out of Puerto Rico and near the Virgin Islands. We sailed with Iain and Ruth there and to the Spanish VI's and BVIs. Dreamy conditions on that trip.
