Hey Dave..you need to come down south. For one, summer is only starting (we don't really have a spring or autumn. Just a summer and cooler summer. The plus side, good winds all year round. Just having had my first winter sailing season here I’m already looking forward to the next one. Winds drop nicely to the 10-20kn range over winter. Of course the day you sail will be the day a front pushes through with strong winds
