The Caribbean
The islands of the Caribbean are undoubtly the most popular cruising destination in the world.
This is particularly true of the Eastern Caribbean, an area which attracts a large number of cruising yachts.
The popularity of the Eastern Caribbean is well deserved as the winter weather is mostly fine, the trade winds reliable and the facilities are being continually improved to cope with a constant demand.
The sailing season lasts from the end of November until June, by which time the prudent sailor should be on his or her way to a hurricane-free area.
The weather during winter, particularly from Christmas until the end of April, is very good with steady easterly winds and not much rain. Usually winds are NE at the beginning of winter and become SE with the approach of summer. The hurricane season lasts from June through November, the most dangerous period being from the middle of August until the end of September.
