I am a fan of crossing late in July, and like someone mentioned early morning is the key. That way you in the islands if for any afternoon weather. I have found that tropical weather seems to get really going late in August. The reason I choose late July is lobster season opens Aug 1 in the Bahamas so it opens up some shallow water diving and some good eating while over there. I am not sure it would be the same trip without being able to spear a few bugs each day. Of course, I am willing to adjust as needed. Of course whateve dates we decide on the weather still plays a role as you get close.
