Boating from Miami to Bahamas

The boat holds 68 gallons of gas which should be enough, but I am thinking it might just be too small to handle the voyage. Anybody with experience or opinions about making the voyage on a 24 footer? thanks, daniel Go find and read everything in this thread: "Subject: How far offshore would be reasonable from the Jersey shore? '98 Sea Ray Sundancer 25' " Lots of good information there. Most experienced boaters that cross over, even in much larger boats, rely on daily updates of the crossing conditions, particularly in the winter months. Seas can be gentle swells until you hit the Gulf Stream where you are suddenly in 6-8 footers. On other days the stream can be relatively calm. When I was in Jupiter, those planning the crossing would meet up down by Peanut Island, wait for a good day and conditions, then all cross over together. Eisboch |
