Head Home from the Caribbean in May 2020

World Cruising Club’s twin rallies – ARC USA and ARC Europe, head away from Nanny Cay, Tortola BVI in early May at the close of the Caribbean cruising season. These fun, passage-making rallies have routes to Florida and to Bermuda, from where the rallies split, with routes onto the Chesapeake Bay and Europe. Spaces are limited, and as the routes are popular with returning ARC sailors registering early is recommended.
