Frisky! We arrive on Jan 10 and are hoping for moderate <20kt winds and swell out of the east. We may end up with 25kt winds out of the east and a north swell.
Cheers, RickG

On island 1/13 but don't start charter until the 18th. Last time, at the same time of the year, we had constant 6-9ft swells and 25 knts of wind. I can't complain 18 inches of snow the last 3 days and temp is 21 degrees. We are on Azzurra and I am hoping she handles winds and swells.

Cheers, RickG Same here. Arrive on the 10th and depart the 24th. I was hoping for fair winds and non-north swells myself. Oh well, when life gives you limes, break out the blender and make a margarita! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
