It varies from person to person. For me it means little chance of
hurricanes. However I know families from Florida who spend the
entire summer in the Bahama Islands and are still around to talk
about it.


The people who live in Florida think the Bahamas is too cold in the
non-hurricane season. Plus I think a lot of them are power boat
people and they can get there and back a lot quicker.


I agree about the temperature part. Floridians can always recognize a
sunbird: he's the one who goes into the swimming pool in February.

However the folks I was referring to who spend the summer aboard in the
Bahama Islands are often people who work the "season" in Florida (tourist
services) and take the summer off elsewhere.
