    It s easier coming back as the prevailing snare at your back. Your stops will be Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Turks n Caicos and Bahamas. All depends on the boat and range.

    April they July are the best months. Late July into aug and sept, hurricane season gets in the way. Winter has stronger winds

    If you have to ask the question(s) you may want to consider bringing someone who's been there done that, a bunch of times...... Trial and error can get pretty costly if not painful.
