My 28' sailboat is now in Stuart, Fl after transiting the Okechobee
waterway but I want to get to Bimini and then to the Berry Is. so I
need to get to Miami. However, I am now very tired of the ICW so I
would like to sail down the coast on the outside from Stuart to
Miami. If I stay within 5 miles of land, will I have any problems
with the Gulf Stream pushing me N.?


Wouldn't the charts point this out?

He would need real-time information. That wasn't a chart, BTW.


Umm... why? Did sailors of earlier times need real-time information to
make
such a trip? Sure, it'd be nice, but I doubt it's a matter of need.


You are shopping for a tiny sailboat? You should realize your aren't
qualified to comment on every post you read.



You're claiming what I said was inaccurate??? In fact, I asked a question
and instead of actually addressing it, you chose to try (lamely) to put me
down. I suspect you're not qualified to comment on EVERY post you read
either. I know I'm not, certainly.
