A Winter in the Sun

A Winter in the Sun

Bill Robinson

Each winter, millions of people are drawn to the warm breezes, azure waters, and palm-fringed beaches of the Caribbean, while countless others dream about it. Now veteran sailing author Bill Robinson has distilled the pleasures of many Caribbean winter cruises into an enthralling story that shows how to actually live this popular fantasy.

A Winter in the Sun recounts the harbors, the people, the races, and the adventures of one particularly delightful winter's cruise in which Robinson and his wife sailed their 37-foot sloop Brunelle throughout the British and U.S. Virgin Islands and east to St. Martin and Antigua.

Not only an entertaining travel story, A Winter in the Sun is also a refreshingly honest guide to the pleasures and occasional problems of the cruising lifestyle. The book is filled with the history and lore of the islands, as well as useful information about many of the shoreside diversions. Seldom have the rewards of a winter escape to the Caribbean been described so appealingly.

Anyone planning a trip to the Caribbean, even for a week or two, will find A Winter in the Sun a valuable resource and traveling companion.
