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

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

Wrong! A knot is 47 feet 3 inches.
