What Will The Weather Be Like During Our Holiday??
This would be the most asked question when people are thinking about a
Bareboat Holiday!! Although we can not predict the weather - we can expound
the following theories...
* The weather is always fickle and generalisations are difficult to substantiate.
* Seasons have blurry edges but our tradtional "wet" season is January
to March.
* The windiest months are March to May.
* The driest months are August to September.
So much for generalisations.....
