There must be a reason so many boats are cruising the coast in summer.

Ya think it might be because the weather is really nice? The days are warm,
and the daylight is long? Ya think?

That's part of it. The other part is that the kids are on summer
vacation and so are the parents. Early September is usually better
than August.

My experience is that September is usually quite pleasant except for a
bad day or two here and there. October and November get progressively
more iffy but can be really nice at times.
