🇺🇸 USA California CRUISING TO MEXICO AND CENTRAL AMERICA WITH THE PANAMA POSSE YACHT RALLY

🇺🇸 CALIFORNIA

PANAMA POSSE SPONSORSHIP MARINA

CALIFORNIA YACHT MARINA SAN DIEGO CHULA VISTA

CLEARING INTO THE US

US CUSTOMS: US ROAM application was updated July 2022. A new feature assists with port check ins required by US Customs if the foreign vessel has the ROAM application. A vessel first checks in at arrival, and obtains a cruising permit. The vessel captain then enters in the Cruising Permit/ number to US ROAM application. After successful permit information is entered in ROAM, vessels can then use the application to do online check-in at their next port of entry/stops. If a cruising permit has not been entered into ROAM, a boat must physically check in at each stop made at US Ports. Basically a vessel either uses the ROAM app for online check in–or if ROAM is not available, they must check in physically at each port of entry, as has been done previously. There is no change in the need for foreign vessels to check in, just the way its possible.

The Caymans have become a popular tax haven among the American elite and large multinational corporations because there is no corporate or income tax on money earned outside of its territory. 1 This includes interest or dividends earned on investments, making the Caymans especially popular among hedge fund managers.

WEATHER

The Cayman Islands have a tropical marine climate, with a wet season of warm, rainy summers (mid-May through October) and a dry season of relatively mild winters (November to April). Located in the northwest Caribbean at Northwest Caribbean, west of Jamaica the three Cayman Islands are in a unique position to be far enough north to be affected by cold front during the winter and still within the belt that is influenced by tropical waves and hurricanes during the summer. A typical day would have you wake up to warm sunny mornings becoming hot by afternoon with a few afternoon thundershowers especially over western Grand Cayman.

Occasional surges of cooler air from continental North America, the leading edge of which is called a cold front is the main winter system affecting the Cayman Islands from late October through early April. These systems are the major producers of rainfall during the winter months although precipitation is not quite as long lasting or of the same amounts as with summertime systems. The stronger cold fronts tend to bring strong North to northwest winds and rough seas, especially along the Western and Northern Coasts of the Islands: Such fronts are locally called “Northwesters”.

Perturbations in the easterlies or tropical waves are the main summer systems affecting the Cayman Islands from late May through November. During these months the systems move through the Cayman area roughly every four to five days but can all but disappear for a few weeks. The stronger of these systems tend to bring a day or two of cloudiness, heavy showers and thundershowers during their passage and strong southeast winds after their passage. During the summer months the main impetus for the development of these systems are the tropical waves.

CAYMAN ISLAND Pilot Charts depict averages in prevailing winds and currents, air and sea temperatures, wave heights,  visibility, barometric pressure, and weather conditions at different times of the year. The information used to compile these averages was obtained from oceanographic and meteorologic observations over many decades during the late 18th and 19th centuries.The charts are intended to aid the navigator in selecting the fastest and safest routes with regards to the expected weather and ocean conditions.
