Dear Bradleywashburn, the most of the cruisers sail straight from Florida to Isla Mujeres, is in the northeast tip of the Peninsula of Yucatán. Once get here they reprovisioning and wait for a weather window and sail south. They are some places where they can stop on the way like Cozumel, Bahia del Espiritu Santo, Xcalac, or sail straight from Isla mujeres to Belize.
This is the good season to go south because you sail with the fronts that blow to the sauth.
You have the option to stop if you want in CUBA, many sailors did it- They are information of Cruising cuba. Nigel Calder did a nice cruising guide of Cuba too.

If you need more details you can mail me again.
Your friend, Manuel.
