Spent seven years cruising most of the Caribbean John. Don't remember late October and November being particularly bad, especially in the south and east although there were always exceptions. One of the worst was hurricane Ivan in 2004 which ironically originated in the Cap Verde area and was tracked over many days as it headed west. After flattening Grenada, it reached Cat 5 in the Cuba area before heading inland to the US as a tropical storm. We were safely in a marina in Puerto de La Cruz, Venezuela so sitting on its less harmful southern flank as it passed. Just got one dull day with a lot of rain but not excessive winds. This was earlier in the season thoug lasting most of September.
