I am currently in South America soon to be heading to the Carribean around Febuary. I want to sail back to the UK around Mid March/early April.

Will they be any boats going at this time of year, or is the weather rubbish?

That's not the kind of sailing folks around here do. You'd do better asking on a cruising website.

However I'd say anyone considering sailing Carribean to UK in mid-March for pleasure would be barking mad. Along with October, it is the peak time for Atlantic gales. The water temperature is also only just starting to increase.

Jander,

It might be worth posting on here, more likely be long distance travellers about here. Enjoy the trip whenever you go for it.
