We are heading south for the first time along the Atlantic coast. I am seeking advise regarding passage making along Florida. How close in will we need to stay to avoid the Gulf Stream? How bad will the traffic be? Leaving from Brunswick, heading to Riviera Beach in a 40' sailboat where should we plan to put in along the way to rest, refuel etc? We have been advised to use Cracker Boy yard if we require a haul out for some repairs - comments.
Thanks......
