... In straight line, from Freeport to West Palm Beach there are approx. 90 miles so with a 30 mph cruising speed... Are you sure? I think it's more like 75 nautical miles. I don't know why all the boat vendors give the crusing speed in mph instead of knots... 'Cause they're shorter. Sometimes I think some vendors "confuse" kilometers with miles too. I don't have any local knowledge of the area. FWIW, the route is in the area of variables so you ought to be able to find a chunk of light wind to make the crossing if you are willing to wait a bit. If the wind is blowing against the stream don't go. Generally thermal breezes are lightest just before dawn, so an early start going and a very early start returning might be worth considering. -- Tom. |
