The voyage has been completed and wow what an epic experience. The largest and most important point to correct is that there is no weather window in June for getting from Grand Turk to St. Croix. There is also no reason to go to Grand Turk. However in spite of the original uninformed and frankly dangerous itinerary we still were blown by the wind into the exact anchorage that is ideal for getting from Caicos to Puerto Plata in The Dominican Republic.

The original itinerary also excluded The Exumas. Which would have been such a shame to miss. Those islands are pure magic.
