So if draft isn't an issue, I'm hard pressed to understand the logic of taking the large risks of an entirely offshore passage to save ~$400 in fees. Is your vessel in good condition? If not and your vessel isn't hardened to the point of full offshore capable, you're virtually gauranteed that something will break or stop working. Well offshore, you will not be able to get the service yards to effect repairs...so more risk.
I'm struggling to understand the rationalizaiton. If it were a timing need (no time to stop along the way) perhaps I'd understand, but even then...cruising on a timetable is a recipe for making hasty bad decisions.
Seems to be more prudent to just go through the Bahamas.
