‘We are “first timers”, having started our circumnavigation<br />
in Turkey in May of 2014 and cruising this part of the world<br />
since <strong>January</strong> 2015 after a crossing from Cabo Verde<br />
to Antigua.<br />
We have enjoyed the Lesser Antilles very much and<br />
reading <strong>Compass</strong> has added to that enjoyment, with lots<br />
of useful info!’<br />
