Thanks, Doug and Ali! We sure did have a great time.
It was really cool to sail around the small islands. The owner of the boat (a good friend) has been coming to Culebra for a few years

If you find any information about small sailboat rentals on Culebra, I'd love to know. My wife and I will be there February 6-13 and would love to sail to snorkel spots.

That time of year your chances of problems with flying and getting back to your boat with that time frame are pretty dicey, in my opinion. A sail, even if you could find one, would take way too long a

Members of BRISA meet occasionally in Culebra, sailing over from Puerto Rico. I found an article describing the trip in allatsea.net.

Well the sailing part is very similar. I do not know of any other place where there are people from 28' ers hanging out on 70' boats - as I have experienced and seen in Culebra many times.

Owlihoot,
How does Culebra compare to St. Barth's in the 70's? From sailing buddies I hear it is somewhat similar with a different cultural premisse.

Progress is great. Think about living on an island where the cows were hauled out of the water without a dock from a sailing ferry that sometimes took all day to get to Culebra.

Even if you get through, the information may or may not be useful or correct. I don't think you can even make a reservation except for the car ferry where they are required. Unless you are travelling

Wow! Do you know what the weight restrictions are?
Is it like parasailing where they cut you off if you are a certain weight? I think with parasailing you can not weigh more than 150.

Sheila,
I think the reason CB isn't popular is that it tries to attract a different type of visitor than Culebra appeals to. Culebra *IS* rustic and rural. There are plenty of places to g
