Seasonal· Great Inagua· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
Hurricane season (Mayaguana & Inagua)
20° 57.0′ N · 73° 40.2′ W · approximate
June to November is hurricane season in the far southern Bahamas, which sit squarely on the track of Atlantic storms; there is no hurricane hole anywhere in this group.
Practical
Coordinate is Matthew Town. SAIL: hurricane season June to November; dry season January to April and winter is the best time once the trades are established. Matthew Town's small rock-cut basin is the only enclosed harbour and is not a recognised hurricane hole; Abraham's Bay is open to the south. Plan to transit before June or after November and check your insurance cover for the season.
