💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~11.8 hours of daylight in May — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- The trade-wind changeovers are the preferred baseline for calmer crossings and outdoor island days. Calm water, clear skies and wildlife sightings are never guaranteed; reconfirm the forecast and each ferry.
