About 20 miles out one can stop at the Marquesas. This might be a good Tolman trip It's safer than a Gulf Stream crossing. We did it last January and got beat up a bit on the return trip - 25 kts out of the north with 6 to 7 foot beam seas most of the way. There is also a nice little anchorage at Boca Grande Key east of the Marquesas. In the summer time you still have thunderstorm risk but you have the option of seeking shelter or beating a retreat. The longest open water passage is about 30 nautical miles. You will be just about the smallest boat out there, even the Cuban refugees use bigger. If you were a nice guy, D'whine, you'd offer to "convoy" with O'Hara. After all, you're both in Florida, and you certainly have nothing of importance to do anymore. Right? Here we have a perfect example of Harry being Harry. Wayne's post was informative to the OP's question, and had absolutely no reference to Harry. Yet, Harry is compelled to respond with a snarky comment. Why? Eisboch Perhaps because he's lonely and wants someone to talk to him? -- ** Good Day! ** John H |
