Asking for Crossing Advice on Punta Gorda to the Bahamas
Explorer Chartbooks, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET PARTNER, has long been the standard navigational supplement for enjoyable, informative, and safe cruising through the beautiful Bahamian waters and island visits. Monty and Sara Lewis are well known in this area for their personal research and reporting. Responding to an earlier Bahamas Chatter, Skipper Grant is asking for your advice in routing this passage/crossing.
Hi I am wanting to cruise from Punta Gorda to the Bahamas in early February 2017 somewhere around the 7th.
I have a Bayliner 4588 so will be cuising at 8 to 9 knots.
I am presently in Australia and will be in Punta Gorda on the 2nd of February If anyone wishing to cruise as a Buddy Boat or a group of boats Please contact me on Email ( directfire.billings@gmail.com).
Cheers and Happy Boating
Grant Billings
