Has anyone here sailed from Miami, Florida to California ?

Please tell me which is the best route (East or West of Cuba)
and best time of year to do this.

How long does this take in a 40' monohull ?

Should I bring a lot of supplies or is it easy to find them along the
way ?

Have you considered another hobby?

Good luck and good sailing.

Maybe the OP is at the beginning of his sailing life and is just curious
about the possibilities. The realities will be obvious enough with time.

This is really amusing how this question has taken on a life of its
own!
1. A "knot" is a distance, as in "one nautical mile" in the sense that
I intended it.
2. Newbie Tia - you should purchase Cornell's "World Cruising Routes"
instead of using Google Earth to plan the trip.
3. Tia, have you ever sailed before? Is this a boat you already own, or
were you offered a ride on someone else's boat? We'd all like to know
why you asked such a peculiar question.

Thanks,
Sailor

Wrong! A knot is 47 feet 3 inches.
