chuck5499 is on a distinguished road
as was said above - kinda depends on where you are headed - we do a day sail from miami to bimini then after check in - either leave predawn for a day cross of the banks to berry island club or leave late day for an overnight crossing of the banks to berry isl club - from there we can explore the berrys or head to the exhumas or on sail around to the abacos -
we really like the berrys as stop as it so unsettled and quiet
--
if you leave from miami at the end of dec there are usually a lot of boats gathering there for the crossing waiting on the weather window so you should have company - we will begin to look for our weather window sometime during the 1st week of jan - by the way last year boats were sitting for 3-4-5-6 weeks waiting on a weather window to cross the gulf stream
good luck
chuck patty and svsoulmates
in cape may waiting for weather
