[23ftSailor]

I want to sail a Spirit23 in February from Miami making as many stops as necessary to the USVI. I have no exact schedule and very little experience on ocean waters sailing. However I don't think a days sailing at a time will be difficult I'm sure some one out there will mention the dangers and difficulties and such. But I think I can do this fairly easily if I simply wait for perfect winds and weather. I haven't schedule. I'd much rather have a partner to sail with who knows more but I can't wait on someone else to want to do what o want to do so if need be I will do it single handed. Id like any and all information about this passage and any links or reading material that would be useful. Thanks.

I am thinking very few crew would want to squeeze oto a 23 footer.

It does make it difficult, but you can island hop through the Bahamas and T&C
