Sept. runs the risk of hurricanes so consider trip insurance. Dec starts prime season so you should find most restaurants open. Nice weather. winds pick up in March.

Great upscale restaurant down road from Mt Vernon on the right: Sol e Luna. further down same side Le Taitu more casual excellent local food dishes. Could possibly walk to either. Using a car drive toward Pinel Ferry dock (down Mt Vernon Rd take right) for more good places to eat.

Anyone know if the road to Mt Vernon has been repaired? It was in terrible shape when we were on the island in March.
