I have been making trips like this Florida to Bahamas crossings for decades and must state that years of experience as well as complete attention to every last detail are put into play when planning and executiong. This trip may seem like its on a whim but it is not. weather forecasts, safety devices such as epirb, navigation equipment, well maintained mechanicals, ocean conditions, hydration, float plan, and common sense make these trips possible and SAFE.
