Crossing Buddy West Palm to West End

Hi all.

Looking for a crossing buddy going over the west end at next window (unfortunately missed today... but tues looks reasonable)

I can prefer to cruise at ~13kt can go a little faster but 9-11 is horribly inefficient.

Re: Crossing Buddy West Palm to West End

Kev,

I have made this crossing from West Palm to West end dozens of times. NEVER did I have a crossing buddy, not even my first time. However, I always had 2 engines. It's only 60 miles. Pick your window and go. I love being on the open ocean.

West end is a tiny spot in that ocean. I did it by compass only my first time, even though I did have a GPS just in case. I wanted to prove to myself I could do it the old fashioned way.

It worked!
