And you do not want to go thru the Mona Passage in a power vessel if you can avoid it...can be real nasty h ttp://www.southwindssailing.com/articles/9909/distant_horizons.html ------ Original Message ------ Received: Wed, 07 May 2008 11:41:06 PM EDT From: <thataway4@cox.net> To: passagemaking-under-power@lists.samurai.com Subject: [PUP] San Blas to Key West If you go directly to Key West, or Grand Cayman, this is a most difficult passage, since you will be bucking into the trade winds and seas all of the way. I strongly advise against taking this course. I only know of a very limited number of boats which have made this passage, and the vast majority would not try it again. The prudent trip is to San Andres, or Provendia, thus to Roatan, Belize and Isla Majeres or along the Columbia/Venzuela Coast, thus to the Eastern Caribbean and across the island chain to Bahamas and Florida.
