Default Sailing from Florida to California

Did you mean to North or South of Cuba instead of East West? The answer
would be North.
Most people head to the Florida Keys, go along the Gulf coast, then
through the Panama Canal. You'll need to hire line handlers & make a
reservation to go through the Canal. http://www.pancanal.com/
Don't go during hurricane season (June 1 through October 31).
Plan on 5 knots per hour (probably a maximum of 100 miles per day) made
good. Measure the distance out and you'll have your answer. Include
days for lay days, sopping, breakdowns, weather delays.

Hello Everyone,

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 ?

TIA
