SYNOPSIS
Join FALKEN in Grand Cayman for the run around the west end of Cuba and on up to Jimmy Buffett's spiritual home in Key West, Florida. It's been almost ten years since we last sailed into Key West and it's one of the more memorable landfalls as you sail past Mallory Square and into Key West's historic seaport.
typical Weather Pattern
Expect moderate temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s Fahrenheit with cooler nights. Trade wind patterns are generally favorable, with steady wind from 10 to 15 knots. Sea conditions may vary, with potential swells influenced by passing weather systems, as cold fronts can occasionally sweep through this time of year.
