Cruising from Puerto Rico to Miami

[Mrs. Blue Sky]

I'm thinking about doing this trip later this year. Maybe in October after the worst possible storm activity but hopefully taking advantage of some good weather between remaining October systems.

The boat is a Grady White Canyon 376(37 ft) center console with 3x350 HP Yamahas. Cruising range is 320 nm.

What stops would be recommendable? I would like to do it travelling days and staying in hotels since sleeping in the boat would not be our first choice. Thinking about a crew of four for the trip. Would hate to carry a gun, should I?

I'm thinking it'll be a good trip because it'll mostly be down wind and current. What do you guys think?

There's a blog out there from several years ago, cruiser (m/v Mary E.) from Boston (-ish) tp St. Thomas.

Then last year, I was considering buying a boat that was on the east end of PR near Fajardo/Punta Cana, so I captured a rough pic of their mileage and ports :



Don't know whether there might be options to split long legs. We didn't pursue that boat so dropped the analysis...

This is helpful!! If you re-kindle the thought of doing the trip, a two boat caravan would be welcome!! Even though it's a fast boat, my idea would be to enjoy the trip at about 20 knot average throughout.
