The Lesser Antilles: an almost 500 km long arch of islands from the Virgin Islands in the north to the ABC islands off the coast of Venezuela, high volcanic islands with evergreen rainforests and flat coral islands, long white sandy beaches lined with palm trees and waves breaking on the cliffs, a colorful mix of peoples, crystal-clear water, colonial architecture and colorful wooden houses in confectioner style, rum, reggae, Creole cuisine and the special joie de vivre of the locals – Caribbean is not one of the most attractive travel destinations
for nothing.<\/p>

Sailors particularly appreciate the constant trade winds. There is hardly any other area in the world with such reliable wind conditions. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The CHRONOS dinghies are already waiting in the new Port Louis Marina in St. George’s, the capital of Grenada, to take us on board the CHRONOS, which is clearly anchored in the bay. A first swim directly from the ship – any remaining tiredness disappears. Our watches are set back 5 hours from CET… We have quite a lot of wind, 5-6 Bft, which accompanies us on the longer stretch to Union Island, along the west coast of Grenada, past
densely wooded slopes and small villages with colorful wooden houses. The water shows all shades of blue and turquoise. Then we are out of the lee of the island and sailing in the open Atlantic. <\/p>

Our destination is a first highlight: Happy Island, a tiny circular island, actually just the Happy Island Bar with a few palm trees, surrounded by a small reef. We take the dinghies and have our sundowner under a palm tree. Back on board, fresh mahi mahi is waiting for us, dolphinfish… <\/p>

A shorter sailing leg takes us to our next highlight, the Tobago Cays, a small group of five islets protected from the open sea by the Horseshoe Reef. The CHRONOS anchors in the marine park, the water around us is almost unreal turquoise, while swimming and snorkeling we encounter large turtles, boxfish, pufferfish and even stingrays, on the white beaches a hammock under palm trees beckons…. We sail on to Bequia with a nice trade wind. The small island was once a whaling center. The anchor drops in Admirality Bay off Port Elizabeth, the capital, actually just a road along the bay, a small market, hotels in the pretty Gingerbread style with their carved and bright pink, purple, blue or green painted wooden facades. A turtle breeding station takes care of the endangered Caribbean hawksbill turtles – more than 900 specimens have already been raised here and released back into the sea. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
