First Big Sailing Experience

Ahoy All,

I thought this might be a resourceful sight to meet fellow sailors and get advice from the community. I am planned to do a 2 year circumnavigation and I am leaving from New York in a month. I am still confused about what my first destination will be...options are Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto-Rico or ?....any advice as I am still a novice sailor, limited to funds and only carrying a VHF, computer and Spot trackker as means of communication.

Thanks, Ash
