Hello all, I am new to
posting on threads. In the past have only come here passively looking for
advice.
I just sailed to TCI via
Georgetown and the plan is to keep heading south to
Puerto Rico. I have been reading a lot of the same stuff over and over, racking my thoughts about how I should attack this. Looking for anymore sailing
advice for the
passage, anything would be great.
I would like to pass up the Dominican and go straight to PR.
Also, if there are any other boats in the area waiting to make the journey, would love to buddy up and caravan
I am in a 44'
sloop.
The way I see it so far:
1. Wait for a
weather pattern to sail East as far as I can, then
head south and end up where I end up
2. South to Luperon then hop across the Mona
Passage
3. Put my
boat on the hard here for
hurricane season then reevaluate the attack plan, but would still require an attack plan
4. Chicken out and do a nice cozy sail back thru the
Bahamas to
Florida (home) and
charter a
boat for the
Caribbean. Dunno how much the chartering costs, but my boat is set up for what I like to do: dive
gear,
compressor,
solar power,
wind gen,
watermaker
Any advice and/or experience would be appreciated
