Assuming this is Mother Nature at work and not some other cause, sincerely hoping the Sargassum doeesn't equal the amounts experienced a couple of years ago. Last year we didn't see a blade of seaweed on any of the beaches we experienced but the year before that it was really bad and almost made sea bathing verboten. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Assuming the newspaper article is correct and the Sargasso seaweed does happen again this year, I don't know that there's any way to know it's duration. We typically travel in mid to late April and that one bad year was the first time in about 40+ years of annual trips we ever experienced seaweed to that magnitude, and my understanding is the vast majority of the mid-Caribbean was effected to one degree or another that year.. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will hopefully be able to answer that question accurately.
