mets123 Posted September 29, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Weather happens. I have sailed many times in the fall. Most times the weather was great and I was wearing shorts and t shirts most of the time. I've also experienced snow flurries and heavy fog. You need to be prepared for either. Keep in mind it is still hurricane season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doa70 Posted October 1, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2018 We did this trip a couple of years ago around this time of the year - late Sept to mid-Oct sometime - and really enjoyed it. It's likely to be colder obviously so maybe hoodie/jeans weather. I'm generally prepared with this plus t-shirts i would wear under a hoodie so I don't really double pack for different weather. As the weather gets colder seas do tend to be a bit rougher. If you're a seasoned cruiser though it's generally not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creel5857 Posted October 1, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks for comments. I realize that weather is fickle and no one knows for sure but I also know there are months in Alaska that people avoid as well as months people avoid with some other itineraries. Just getting any input i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
