Hi Everyone: Hubby and I are going to CSS for the first time (first at Couples also) in June 2018. Just in case we can squeeze in another trip at end of year, please let me know if you have been in December/early January before and what weather, water, wind, and temperatures were like in December. We are from the mid-Atlantic US and are afraid water would be cool around that time.

Been there at CSS in December (as well as March, April, July, August, October). Water will be a bit cooler than summer months. White river does flow into the gulf at Sunset Beach which can add a cooler layer of fresh water on top of warmer salt water. I have snorkeled off SSB in every month except last March when I had a bit of congestion from a cold.

So, is anyone aware of or heard of the Cool Runnings Au Natural Sunset Catamaran cruises? Several groups going to Sans Souci have put 10 plus couples together and arranged a 3 hour trip, which includes alcohol, ending up having a great time. Is anyone that is going to be at Sans Souci between the 3rd of December and the 9th of December interesting in going on an au natural sunset cruise if we can set one up?

Glad we are starting to hear from people who are coming in December, some we will see and some we will miss. Funny, lots of Minnesotans trying to get out of the frozen tundra in December! We were hoping to be out of Minnesota and coming to CSS from Texas, but things are taking longer than planned so we will get to fight snow and cold on the way to the airport again! Oh well. Look forward to seeing everyone. And, the good part now is:

79 Days and 18 Hours!!!!!! Sunset Beach is calling and we must go!
