I am not blue water guy
in fact, I am more of a green water guy, but I know how to surf the web. Advice is cheap and sometimes it is flat out wrong so I recommend reading stuff by people who wrote about doing it. The following link contains an article on the subject you seek info on by someone who has been there: http://www.tor.cc/articles/flcarib.htmIn fact, I recommend you check all of the articles that Tor Pinney has written that interest you: http://www.tor.cc/tips.htmApparently you sail west quite a ways, 3-4 hundred miles past the Bahamas and then head south, but the article I lined to says it much more eloquently.
