Default Heading south from US E coast

The odd thing about Bermuda is that Halifax, Nova Scotia is as close as
anypoint on the US eastern seaboard.
If it was earlier in the season, I'd say...come up here, enjoy the scenery
and then head due south.
Very simple except that you will probably be close hauled the first part of
the trip and the Gulf Stream current might slow you a bit.

The closest point on the U.S. east coast to Bermuda is Nantucket,
Massachusetts. You will be going twice the distance if you head to

Beaufort,
South Carolina first!
