I have a 40' sailboat, 5'5" draft, 45' mast.
It will motor comfortably at 6 kts.
How long would you estimate to transit from the Gulf to the Atlantic?
Any hazards that I should be concerned about?
Thanks, jay

You'll be fine, just watch your charts carefully. The river is quite
deep in most places once you get east of Cape Coral. Total distance
is about 155 NM with 5 locks along the way. You could make it in 2
days if you push hard, 3 otherwise. Clewiston is a good place to
overnight.
