This November we took the Beaufort to BVI route rather than the thorny path to the Caribbean. It took us 9 days in our catamaran. Beaufort is just that much farther south than Hampton that we were able to avoid some of the fronts that are so prevalent in the winter. But we still encountered some pretty big winds & seas.

But if you haven't seen the Bahamas before, I'd recommend doing the Florida-Bahamas - ICW - Maine loop at least once, to gain experience. Then plan a second offshore trip to the Caribbean.
