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.....

 What was it like for the same time in previous years?

While the weather will be different on any day of any year - the weather for the same time in previous years can be a guide to the conditions you may encounter on your holiday. Enter the date that you intend coming on your holiday to was forecast in previous years.
