I'm looking for
advice taking a 40' sailboat from the
Panama Canal to Golfito,
Costa Rica in early April.
How long will it take?
Is it against prevailing winds?
What sort of
wind strength is typical?
I believe this is just before
hurricane season.
Background is: I'm a life long coastal sailor with virtually no experience off shore. I'm thinking of puchasing a
boat in
Martinique, sailing it to and thru the
Canal to Golfito where it will be shipped to
Canada.
I've heard that the Martinque to
Canal passage is reasonable at this time of year but if you want to chime in on that please do so. (I will post this request on the
Carribean section, though.)
Thank you.
Eric
