Weather Info

DATE: June 08, 2006
 

Soak up the fair weather while you can because as we make our approach toward Costa Rica weather will deteriorate as we pass into the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).  As a result we should expect increased cloud coverage accompanied by scattered strong thunderstorms.  We will continue to ride southerly seas at a conservative 6-7 ft.  Winds can be expected to be around 10 kts out of the south
