We will be trailering a twenty five ft wellcraft with twin suzuki 140 4strokes from S.C.
Hope to be ready a few days before the 12th so that if weather dictates we can cross in good conditions.

Is this your first time? if so don't worry about crossing alone there are always other boats around these days. just whatch the weather and make sure your compass works just in case your gps fails. where are you going? I'll be in green turtle 7-17 to7-21.

You can also put a post here as this forum covers the area you're leaving from/returning to. Jim

Pick up a Dodge's Guide to cruising the ABACOS. It is an invaluable resource that includes marinas, restaurants, lodging, fishing and diving and snorkeling locations and tips.

It also has courses plotted from the major east Florida ports to all of the islands of the ABACOS. The numbers he posts are dead on and will allow you to avoid the sand bars and coral heads that dot the floor of the Sea of Abaco. I would not go without one. You can purchase it at West Marine or Online.

Where are you staying? I may be able to offer some fishing advice.
