So, how about this compared to an O'Day 23 or O'Day 27. Obviously the
27 would be the preferred choice over the 23, but I'm looking at a
bunch of different ones.

There are so many good, older boats in the 30 to 34 foot range, that I
would not consider anything else for the kind of cruising you want to
do. If you really want smaller for some reason, look for an old
Pearson Triton. They are nearly indestructible.

Good boats cheap too.

I just have a problem with sailing that distance in a 23 footer.

Maybe it's my advanced age. :)

Advanced age comes with advanced wisdom, at least that's what I tell
people. The REAL advantage of advanced age however, is that there
are more younger women.
