So now we are into march and our weather is at the best for
the year. Spring and Fall are both ideal.
I joke with a lot of people saying that if the weather was like this year round
none of us could afford
to live down here. The island is pretty packed. We still get some spring
breakers but not nearly as
as many as we use to, so don't let that deter you from coming down. The water is
just starting to
warm up, and you are feed up with your long winter.
