Yep, next couple of days...12/28 and 29 looks like ENE at 20 to 30.

Then reducing ENE 15 TO 20 which is good sailing weather for monohulls, double reefed and small jib. Also, most of the popular anchorages should be pretty well protected . Sounds like close to the winds we get in May, except they start veering to the ESE, which we find opens Josts harbors up to the winds and seas.

We have found, no matter where we are, hawaii, the U.S. coastal and inland weather forecasts, and the BVI, the WEATHER UNDERGROUND is very accurate.

With a long back professional ground in Sailing and motor vessels, and Flying airplanes as dual careers, .... call up > weather underground ( insert name of area) < if wx is a primary concern and an accurate fore casts are imperative .

Weather Underground ::
.

* EXCELLENT : Very easy to read daily graphs....." sky''...... temps...'''.barometric pressure''''''', .wind directiion and speed.....rain ( chance and amount in inches ). Super easy quick reference. 10 days of forecasts.

Also....LONG QUICK REFERAL list for daily HOURLY reports, all of the above, plus temps and feels like temps...cloud /sky cover, rain percentage, and amount, wind direction and speeds,

Also....the the written scientific report, high and low pressure areas, warnings, storms, fog, visibilties, ceilings, et.

Also....Aviation and Marine fore casts.

As a commercial pilot, and fighter pilot, and merchant marine capt....both coming on nearly 40 years, I have found ( weather underground ) is the best and easiest and most accurate weather forecasts and reports that I am aware of )
The weather for us, is vitally important as to safe flying and sailing and staying alive..

Most times we refer to wx forecasts to prepare and plan , not only with flying and sailing, but diving and snorkeling and hiking as well. Or driving on road trips.

Just FYI for you and other posters here on TravelTalk.

If you get a chance, and weather is important , give ( weather underground) a go.

As to the BVI, we are aware of the Christmas winds, and for 35 years have selected May, to bare boat the BVI. Great sailing winds. 13 to 20 mph . Sometimes ENE and sometimes ESE . Works for us, as we really like sailing and not motoring .

Have a fun and fantastic 2019...
