What is the impact on people's first crossing?
Where did I suggest motoring? You can crab while sailing too.
Yes crabbing is different to tacking - not missing that; both are realities of sailing.
Don't know about your auto, but I don't have that issue. Maybe you need to go with set heading rather than follow waypoints (?).
There are loads of places in Fl to provision.

I would much rather make time to the south on the east or west side of the stream than the ICW between West Palm and MIA.
