After crossing to St Lucia via A Coruña and Gran Canaria last year, James Anderson is planning to depart the Caribbean in late April for UK. He is looking for crew eager to gain ocean miles on the return voyage to UK waters via Bermuda and the Azores.

The outline plan is:

1. 23-25 April. Assemble in St Lucia. Service, relaunch and restock Cleone.

2. 26 April - 1 May. Cruise Leeward Islands to Antigua or St Maarten.

3. Thereafter:

Sail Leeward Islands to Bermuda. Approx 900 miles; 8 days.

In Bermuda. Restock and refuel as necessary. 2 - 3 (or more) days.

Sail Bermuda - Azores. Approx 1700 miles; 15 days.

In Azores. Cruise Azores. 10 days? Then restock and refuel.

Sail Azores to UK. Approx 1400 miles; 11-12 days.

Exact timings dependant on wind, weather and crew commitments.
