During the Christmas Tradewinds that sometimes last into February, I have been stuck hiding in snug anchorages in the Bahamas for many weeks at a time. I once saw snow flurries in the Abacos. Weather is always a crap-shoot.I understand one can get stuck in the Bahamas when winter comes. Cold weather, cold water and small unpredictable weather windows to get in and out of many anchorages.
