Thanks to all readers who took the time to answer last week’s survey on hurricane season strategies for boats sailing to the Caribbean. Of those who answered, 53% said they would leave their boats in a safe haven in the Caribbean for hurricane season while 47% said they would sail it home or into safer waters. Asked to designate where you would choose to leave a boat in the Caribbean during hurricane season 61% said Trinidad, 52% said Grenada, 32% said Curacao, 24% said Panama and 20% said the Rio Dulce, Guatemala. Also, several readers volunteered that they would leave their boats in Jolly Harbour, Antigua. (The percentages for destinations add up to more than 100% because readers could check more than one box.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
