CREW MEETING FOR THE CARIBBEAN CHALLENGE CRUISE 2026-2027

About this event



Caribbean Challenge Cruise (“CCC”) Committee members will provide a brief

outline of what to expect on this cruise, how it will work, what you need to know

about chartering in the Leeward and Windward Islands, recommended

preparations for those making the passage down and back, and BWSC

requirements to do the offshore passages.

This will be followed by a question

and answer period for those considering this cruise.

Time permitting, those having any special knowledge or suggestions pertaining to the itinerary are

encouraged to share same.

It will be helpful to have in-hand the itinerary, both

short and long form, as set forth in John Slingerland’s blog on the BWSC website.

John Slingerland, Cruise Leader and Moderator

Murray Beach, Co-Leader (Offshore prep)

Mark Foryth, Co-Leader (Chartering)

David Neilson, Co-Leader (Catch-all)
