The short answer is, I didn't make the trip. I lost a chainplate and that changed everything. I put the trip on hold and now the opportunity has passed.... C'est la vie.

hello anomaly. i did a search for 'sailing from jacksonville florida to puerto rico.' it's nov 3rd 2012. i retired in october. im gonna spend the next 3 months selling all my boat's, truck/camper, motorcycle, 73 nova, my whole house etc etc....and im retiring in puerto rico...that being said. i've decided im sailing a macgregor 26 down. i'll buy it in florida and take off. i may beef up the rigging and the portlights before i go. other than that....ill set her up with what i've been cruising with for the last bunch of years...my solar setup, genset, windvane...all my gear and go! how long did the trip take you and from what i gather i leave from the north of florida and head due west to hit the trades, then head south...anyone familiar with this???
thank you.
