[Perseverance]

I am sailing from Michigan to Puerto Rico this fall and I am too tall to go the ICW below Norfolk. I plan to come out the NY harbor about mid Oct and get down as far as time allows me before returning home for a month. I hope to make Virginia Beach.I plan to be back at the boat Nov 25. I do not wish to sail accross, but through the Bahamas. Looking for best jumping point and info about outside Cape Hatteras.
