Yes absolutely, even for shorter passages in the Caribbean. I was one of the few boats in Providencia one time pulling in weather faxes; so was one other boat. The other boat was convinced that a window was opening up between northers and convinced a number of other boats to join them. I looked at the same fax and tried to convince a number of boats NOT to go. The other guy was being optimistic IMO.
That night, 3 of the 6 that left limped back into port after being rather beat up by the weather. It's nice to be your own weather guesser instead of relying on somebody elses opinion.
