I wager that by the time you get to Mexico your possible
itinerary will expand once again.  Once you experience a different culture as
a true prodigal aboard your own boat, communing with colleague voyagers both
sail and power, and you have a few open ocean miles under your belt, you will
understand that anything is possible given proper planning and preparation
that you are doing.

The adventure truly begins!  Exciting!  Congratulations!
