    Hello!

    I'd love to hear any suggestions you folks may have!

    We'd like to cruise somewhere warm, but not too hot . . . somewhere nice,
    but not too expensive . . . somewhere with water, feul, provisions, etc
    close by, but not too many touristy types . . . We are looking at
    taking several months . . . maybe up to 6 months.

    Hahahaha . . . I'm not asking for too much, am I?

    We were thinking of the BVI because our research showed that the prevailing
    winds keeps it a bit cooler than some of the other areas? also it is less
    developed than many of the other Caribbean areas . . . but now we are
    hearing that the last few years since the cruise ships have been going in it
    is quite touristy and expensive.

    So, we were thinking Belize . . . but it seems the sailing isn't so great
    there because of all the reefs? and also it is very, very hot there?

    I've heard maybe St Vincent? or Saba? but I can't seem to find much info
    about those areas.

    What about Trinidad? It is supposed to be out of the hurricane routes?

    What about the Sea of Cortez? There doesn't seem to be too much sailing
    around there . . .

    Thanks so much for any info you can offer!!!

    BTW, we are in the PNW, so are thinking we'd fly down and buy a boat down
    there as we really don't want to sail down the West coast and through the
    Panama.

    Thanks again, Trish
