crazy4cruisn Posted January 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 27, 2006 We will be in Grand Cayman on Feb 3. Are mosquitoes a problem then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted January 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Grand Cayman has an active mosquito control program. We're hoping our MRCU (Mosquito Research and Control Unit) is able to resume aerial spraying soon, though I don't know if that's likely to happen before your trip. As anywhere, mosquitos are mostly a problem a few days after a heavy rain. February is solidly in our drier season, rain is possible, but not as often. Last year it was very dry in February. Also, mosquitos are at their worst near dawn and dusk. Fortunately for our cruise visitors, tendering schedules usually will keep you away at peak times of the day.

HockeyTown Posted January 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am hearing that many previous cruise visitors to GC have not been able to Tender due to weather, rough waters, etc. Just wondering is there a certain time of the year that has more of a problem with weather, or is it just a hit-miss? We're coming in Feb 22nd week. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted January 27, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Winter months (ie cruise ship high season) are more likely to bring a change in wind direction which can prevent tendering. When a cold front drops down out of the Gulf of Mexico, we sometimes get a wind shift to the northwest which can disrupt tendering by bringing high seas. This is less likely to occur during the summer months, though that can bring and entirely different weather hazard... hurricanes. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
