I'm part of a group that goes to Orient every January, and this January was no exception. We did not have any rain outs like described here, but we had 2 or 3 days with no wind (which is not unheard of, but unusual for Orient Beach). We then all complained it was too hot! A trip to the bar cooled us off (plus a swim). So 2 conclusions to draw is: There is no pleasing us tourists, and finding a bar is always a viable option, no matter what the problem!
