Boat: We are sailing a 30 foot Cat fully equiped with all the latest gadgets.
radar, chart plotters, etc. New
sails and
rigging,
safety equipment on board, as well as a new e-rib..
Crew: Two
dogs, and two not experienced "coastal" sailors. Prior to
purchasing the
boat I knew everything there was to know about sailing.. Now I have my own boat I seem to have
lost my ego and most of the pocket book.
Final
Destination: Rio Deluce Guatamala
Route:.... Working on it again.
What we would like to do is to take the best
route from Tampa to Rio Deluce. We do not have a time frame and we do not have a death wish. (fair
weather sailors) We are aware that we are on the crest of the
hurricane season but think that we will find a nice window to get across the gulf. We were thinking of sailing down to the keys and crossing to the Dry Tortogas then onto Isla Mujeres, or setting off on a direct route from Tampa to Isla Mujeres..
What would you do if you were in our shoes?
