You're doing a great job. I tried to visit John's web site
at http://members.bellatlantic.net/~fcsdsg/ but got an error
message saying that it cannot be found.

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

Understood. But I think he intended to talk about velocity.

I think he intended little beyond palaver.

If a sailboat leaves Miami at 5 knots per hour, how fast will it be going
when it reaches Panama?

Have you considered another hobby?

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.

He's accelerating....The hull should plane in a couple of hours at this
acceleration rate....(c;

Impossible to determine without knowing its starting speed.

Starting speed: 0 Knots.

Can you give an instance when this is _not_ the case? Every time I've
started a trip I've experienced a starting speed of roughly zero knots. give
or take.

When you have to back out of the slip! -0.25 knots!
