Barbados
We travel to Barbados in March 2006 and would like to take a boat ride
to see the island from the sea. We are pensioners and non-swimmers and all advertised trips seem to include swimming with turtles. Does anyone know of sailing trips in Barbados that would suit us? Any information on Barbados attractions would be appreciated. |

Hi there,
There is two very nice ways to see the island from the sea: Either by one of the catamaran sailboats, or on the Harbour Master. The catamarans is those that advertise swimming with turtles. And I am sure that even if you are non swimmers and pensioners, you will enjoy this wonderful trip. The boats take you most likely up along the west coast from Bridgetown. Not all the way to Speightstown, but at least half way between Holetown and Speightstown. There you anchor, swim, or go to the beach, before you set sail and sail some more. The entire trip take about 5 hours. If you are not comfortable with swimming, they have lifejackets on board. Harbour Master is the same thing, but without sail. And a much much larger boat. I prefer the sailboats. They are about 55-58 feet long and 25-27 feet wide, safe, dry, and very easy to get in touch with other tourists. Anything specific you wonder about before your trip to Barbados? Just feel free to ask. Leif Arild Norway wrote in message ups.com...
