Yes but straight line from Miami to Cozumel/Cancun is only about 470
NM.

What? Take a sailboat to SEA?

Yeah at 6 knots I could make it.... at 22 Kts I can only make 280 NM.
Probably still faster and cheaper to go 6 knots and fish all the
way....Less wear and tear... but then again, a sailboat might pass me
and I would have to turn in my gold chains and tank tops!!! :-)
