I spent some time in Barbados at the Barbados Yacht Club..
and to my surprise many of the sailors actually sail
fewer occasions than I do here in Ottawa Canada where
my boat is on the hard for 7 months of the year.
The reason being the threat of hurricanes.
In the Barbados most of the sailboats are taken out of the water
from January to July.. to be protected from the hurricanes
threatening the area. A few boats remain at anchor.. but
in the event of an approaching hurricane they are
pulled ashore. I did see on eboat that tried to
stay at anchor in the face of an impending hurricane..
the anchor chain broke.. and the hull was smashed onto
the beautiful pink sand of the Aquatic Gap.
In my case I enjoy about 40 sails a year.. and am very
thankful for them.
