So, how uncomfy will it be? N. FL in mid summer is awful with no wind
and insanely high humidity. Will it be that bad in the Bahamas? IF
there is any wind at night, it will be ok if I sleep on deck. Gotta
figure how to hang the hammock over the bow with the skeeter net.


If you cruise the Abacos as I think you are planning, it will probably
be cooler than Florida and with better wind. The mosquitos are not
that bad if you stay away from mangrove areas and maintain a sea
breeze at night. Are you still planning to stay in the Berry Islands?
The northern Abacos have a lot to offer if you like the boondocks.

If you have not yet bought the Explorer chart books for the Abacos you
should run out and do that. West Marine usually has them.
