When to jump? Virginia to Virgin Islands, Part One
Finding a weather window for a direct passage to the Caribbean from the US East Coast is often tricky, and avoiding bad weather is not always possible for a boat that does less than 150 miles per day, but we will do our best. I also talk about my oil navigation lights which I still keep in service to back up my LED lights.
