So…we find ourselves nearing the time when we need to decide where we will go during this next cruising season.  We have a couple of choices and thought it might be fun to see what our readers thought. Keep in mind these aren’t actual navigation routes…..just general areas we would depart and arrive…..
This first route is what we did in 2016-2017…..it covers about 1,000 nautical miles (nm) and while we didn’t hit every Island we hit quite a few…..
This second, partially new, route covers what we did in 2015-2016 (Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas) plus adds Cuba, Isla Mujeres, and some hops down that coast that would end in Guatemala. Which is also a good place to be for hurricane season next year.

So….let us know what you think by voting below !!!! Feel free to leave some comments too !!!

A tour of, and a critique of all of the best Caribbean/ hard to find/ best kept secrets, sail up bars!
Hey let me know if you have any plans for Bahamas I still need to finish some previously promised work.
I would like to be able to finish it up next spring. I am thinking I may just head over from Lauderdale. But that is a four day trip for certain.
