Anyone out there who has sailed from the Great Lakes to Florida Keys...Looking for some guidance and suggestions regarding expectations of time, distance, expense and difficulty along the way...Planning on leaving near the end of summer or early fall...Hoping to arrive in the Keys in November...


Thanks,

John

Captain Force... Speed is not an issue..Safety and enjoying the journey are my top priorities...I tried using the search function and there are around 500 posts with the words Great Lakes and Florida Keys in them..Appreciate your help very much...

Thanks,

John

Dick....Awesome post...Thank you very much....Boat has not been purchased yet...Looking for a seaworthy boat 30-36ft to be used as a live aboard and offshore cruiser to cruise the islands..Real Estate is listed for sale and hope to purchase boat sometime in July and spend some time getting familiar with the boat and systems before attempting this trip....
