Fewer touristas, some less wind (generally) and a little more rain (generally). Some days you can see bottom in over 120'' of water. It''s beautiful. Septober is the time to really, really keep a weather eye out, but everyone is (including moi) so paranoid that you''ll hear about weather long before you think you need to check the weather. Nothing has come close since 2000 (Hurricane Debby?) and that was a non-event. Some people just hang south or not too far north of 12N and run further south when things look funky. Those of us that have to work, well, we have our "secret spots" to stash the boat.
