Sailing the Caribbean has always been a dream — but is it getting riskier? Between rising fees in the Bahamas, U.S. drug-interdiction ops near Venezuela, and shifting maritime laws, we dive into whether the Caribbean is still the paradise sailors imagine.

In this Q&A episode, I answer fan questions on:

Safety in the Caribbean today

Rising costs in the Bahamas & alternatives like Cuba and the BVIs

Planning & paperwork for international cruising

Boat ownership, chartering, and insurance lessons

Life aboard with crew, pets, and future sailing plans

Drop your thoughts in the comments — would YOU still sail the Caribbean right now?
