Wind Surf highlights: People & places (photos)

Here's a new batch of photos from Cruiseable's Caribbean sailing on Wind Surf from March 25 to April 1, 2017. On our Classic Caribbean itinerary, we sailed from St. Maarten to Barbuda; Roseau, Dominica; Pigeon Island, St. Lucia; Basseterre, St. Kitts, and Gustavia, St. Barts, before returning.

Notice that many of these are small, lovely, out-of-the-way ports that the mass cruise lines don't call on. 

Highlights included a beach barbecue in St. Lucia; a Thursday night barbecue and party on the ship; visiting the captain and his officers on the bridge; the superb cuisine throughout the voyage — and meeting new friends and enjoying new experiences along the way. 

On the day we left, Wind Surf left for a transatlantic crossing to Europe, but she will be back in the Caribbean from November to March. 

We basked in seven days of sunshine on this voyage and captured some nice visuals of paradise, if you missed these earlier photo galleries:
