In 30 days. A lot to tell, but internet is expensive here. Rather slow passage I thought, but more due to the fact I more or less did the entire thing on a single Genoa alone. Yes, I was rolling from rail to rail for 30 days! Argh!
Anyway, just thought I'd say I made it. My website is down unfortunately... And I'm overwhelmed with email!

I'm in Barbados! Still not sure what to do from here. Now considering hauling my boat out for storage and flying to NYC (I have no idea how I'm going to fund this, but I'll worry about that later!) for work.
Researching St Lucia/Martinique for a haul out place, I have no idea if they have marinas for that just yet, but will look nonetheless.
Nick!

Excellent adventure, well done!!
Don't forget the ol hurricane season is looming, St L and Martinique can lift you but.... Have you thought about Trinidad, there are moorings in the bay where all the boatyards are, probably much cheaper and south of much windiness. Plus, of course, venezuela, cheap as chips!!
Hope this helps.

Yes, Venezuela is an idea... Another place to add to my list of possibilities. Fly out costs have to be taken into account also, and its about $300usd from Barbados and about the same from St Lucia. I emailed Rodney Bay marina for dry dock, but I'm sure it's a small fortune. We'll see... Back to trying to fix my website.
