Hi all!
I'm planing to sail a 31f from miami to new york starting eary
march. does anyone has experience with this route. any comment, any
links most welcome. I'm 42, have long experience behind me. as far
as iI underestood hatteras seem to be a unpredictable place in
springtimes with cold water and rougt sea. What are other *good to
know* things? thanks for any comment on that

One route to consider is Miami to Charleston to Morehead City, then inside
to Norfolk, and then offshore to New York. A lot of folks don't like
Hatteras at _any_ time of the year, and early spring or summer could be
rough going unless you are well offshore. The route I suggested isn't the
fastest, but it affords a few good breaks for provisions, repairs and the
like. I have sailed it at least twice and am still here to write about it.

Good luck and good sailing.
