Homeward Bound Flotilla

Attention U.S.-Bound Cruisers
With the effects of the spreading novel coronavirus, there is much uncertainty in the Caribbean. Ports are closing, flights are not available.  Many people are finding themselves unable to have crew meet them to help move their boats north for the summer, and the ability to leave boats for the summer in the Caribbean is becoming more problematic.
To help the sailing community, the Salty Dawg Sailing Association is planning an informal flotilla to the U.S. from the Caribbean. The Salty Dawg “Homeward Bound Flotilla” will depart from Antigua and the US Virgin Islands, or other islands where vessels are located, with weekly departures between April 5 and May 10, 2020. Our Spring Rally, previously planned to depart May 12, will be folded into this activity. We will support vessels sailing either directly to the US Mid-Atlantic or New England areas, or west toward Florida and then north along the U.S. coast. As always in Salty Dawg rallies, departure and timing are at the discretion of the captain, and we offer maximum flexibility to all participants. Read More
