This time of year is OUR "summer"....our days are sunny and we never have rain! There is little to no wind and the oceans are flat EVERY DAY! Temperatures are starting to heat up a bit. Even though we are north of the equator....we still call this our SUMMER because of the clear days where the sun gets things hot. In our true summer months (May-Sept)....we call it our "winter" because we have more cloud cover keeping the temperature mild. In any case, it's always nice to be HERE!!!!
