Hello,

I have been watching this forum for a while.
You are a nice group.

In a few weeks (May 23rd) I will be leaving on my first "long distance" cruise on a sailboat that I just purchased: (1989 34' Sabre)

Sailing from Boca Raton to Pensacola, Fl:
Plan to head south around thru Marathon across and up the coast.

If anyone has made this journey any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Lot's and lot's of Fl. sailors around here. Have a great trip!

Welcome Chris Johnson. Have a wonderful voyage. I gotta get my boat together so I can get out of the slip. Enjoy!!

Aloha Chris,
Welcome aboard!! Sometimes its best to ask a specific question under a separate thread because some folks don't respond the meets and greets too often.
I hope someone can give you help on your planned journey. Sounds very interesting.
Kind Regards,
JohnL
