From Miami to Mona Passage, Puerto Rico

[rascalarg]

We are planning to sail from Miami to Puerto Rico, and are asking for some first hand pros and cons.

One route which seems to be the most direct route is via the Great Bahama Bank. The other/s, more picturesque routes is via the Bahamas (Miami, Nassau, Ezuma Sound, Long Island, Mayaguana Island, The Caicos Islands, Puerto Rico).

Any comments on the above alternatives or other suggestions would be greatly received..

Many thanks

Get The Gentlemans Guide to Passages South by Bruce Van Sant and read it cover to cover at least twice.

He has made this trip many times.

Thank you Quiet Assassin, I recently discovered his book and have been through it once already. Have to say that the advice he gives is great!

Just off to start it for the second time...

Kind regards
