Master Cruising Timeline
Twenty-one months, seventeen countries, and one very good boat. From the first night at anchor off St. Thomas to Christmas in the Grenadines two years later — here is where we will be, what we will be doing, and when there is a spare cabin.

🏝️ Winter — the whole island chain
November through May we range wide: the Grenadines, the Virgin Islands, the Leewards and — in 2028 — all the way up to the Bahamas. Short hops, warm water, and an anchorage worth swimming in most nights. This is when we would love company, and most of the open berths are here.
🌴 Summer — deep south, and slower
July through October we head south and stay a while: Grenada and Carriacou in 2027, Bonaire and Curaçao in 2028. Rainforest waterfalls, rum distilleries, flamingos, and the best shore diving on earth — plus the stretch each summer where she comes out of the water for her refit.
🤝 Coming to join us
Three guest cabins — two queens and a smaller full — so four of you travel in comfort and six fits for a shorter hop. Roughly a dozen open windows across the two years, and ten days is about the right length. Have a look at the , pick a window that suits you, and send us a note.
