Funny.... I just got back from a 10 day trip to the Abacos I did not get enough fishing due to the wind, and of course I was only planning 5 days but had to wait unil I could cross. Still a good time.

Now for next summer.... I always go first week in August because Lobster season opens the 1st. 2 advantages to this, the obvious lobster for dinner and snacks and the locals are all out working so less headaches.

With that, I will put a trip together for Early August next year and would be happy to have a few boats tag along. I could help with rooms as well but I do not stay in a very resort like area. I go there to fish and my focus is on that. Basically I look for a roof and a shower. Hot water is optional. There is a place to eat, a small bar, and a dock where I normally go. The town is called foxtown. There is a resort being built on one of the Keys and talking to the folks who are doing this it should be open by august so there may be a nicer place to stay in the area. Of course Green Turtle is always an option as well and a short run from Fox Town.

I can say the past 5 years I have made the crossing first week in August and have not had to adjust for weather at that time. Sept/October are not so lucky though.
