The first thing people ask me about a sailing vacation...
"Isn't this a little dangerous?" Excerpt from Close Reach Blog
If you're thinking "White Squall." you’ve got the wrong idea. Most folks have a mental picture of us out in the middle of the ocean when I start talking about this trip. We never leave sight of the islands. And in fact, we are in the middle of the islands for most of the trip, rarely more than a mile or two from shore in any direction. If weather is more your concern, don’t worry. We are never far from a safe harbor should weather blow up. However, the weather network is excellent in the islands and there are rarely any surprises as long as you pay attention. Hurricane season ends shortly before or after we arrive (depending on the time of year we’re there) and is rarely a factor.
