Good Morning, Good Morning!  How is everyone’s holiday season shaping up?   We are in full-on Christmas cheer mode here in Love City with tons of extra special seasonal activities for all ages happening here on island this week (I’m tired AND overjoyed just thinking about it!).  Slim Man’s Christmas lights are up and better than ever and the parking lot across from the post-office is literally overflowing with last minute gift senders and receivers.  You know what other seasonally specific natural occurrence happens at just about this time of year?  You guessed it…The Christmas Winds!  These seasonally high winds (sometimes between 20 and 30 knots) traditionally blow into the Caribbean through the month of December, marking the true beginnings of sailing season.  Which brings me to the main topic of this story…Sailing Asante!
