How about October? As in, oh, next week?
Just freed up some time, and I'm looking for some big stuff without a difficult or long trip from NYC... Caribbean and the Gulf being easiest, followed by South America and the Pacific coast of Mexico, I guess.
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking:
- Island hop the Bahamas and maybe T&C for dolphins... maybe a liveaboard
- San Sal for hammers
- St. Lucia if I can figure out how to get out to blue water
Anything else just about now in the Caribbean or the Gulf? I know this is not the best time for mantas in Tobago, and I have no idea where the whale sharks go after leaving the Yucatan.
Sea of Cortez? Any thoughts on what it's like this time of year?
Anybody tried the Azores?
I was considering Fernando de Noronha in Brazil, but that's too far. Galapagos, Cocos, Socorro, and the like are reserved for future major trips (besides all being overly difficult for a quick trip).
Thanks,
Richard
