Wayne ,, I agree with you 100%. October can be beautiful. But .. and this
is the subject of the posting .. we are talking about Chartering a boat in
October. My thought is, this would be taking a big chance as the weather
might be cold, etc. And then the Charter poster would be losing lots of
money.

I am not disagreeing with those who say sailing in the fall can be
wonderful.

But there is much more of a chance that the weather will be bad, especially
when thinking of chartering a boat for a week.

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.
