No-see-ums and mosquitoes (Inagua)
20° 57.0′ N · 73° 40.2′ W · approximate
Inagua's flats and mangroves breed no-see-ums and mosquitoes that find you at anchor when the breeze drops - a recurring complaint in Matthew Town and Man of War Bay reviews.
Practical
Coordinate is Matthew Town. ActiveCaptain and noforeignland reviewers report bugs even with an offshore wind at Man of War Bay North, no-see-ums at dawn, mosquitoes in certain seasons at Man of War South, bugs at Calm Bay in light winds, and the Government Basin 'hot and buggy when no breeze'. Fit fine screens before arrival, anchor well off the beach, and expect the worst in calm, humid summer conditions.
Best for
Knowing to screen up before the wind dies
Season
Worst in calms, summer and early mornings
