And you do not want to go thru the Mona Passage in a power vessel if you
can avoid it...can be real nasty

  If you go directly to Key West, or Grand Cayman, this is a most
  difficult passage, since you will be bucking into the trade winds and
  seas all of the way. I strongly advise against taking this course. I
  only know of a very limited number of boats which have made this
  passage, and the vast majority would not try it again.

  The prudent trip is to San Andres, or Provendia, thus to Roatan,
  Belize and Isla Majeres or along the Columbia/Venzuela Coast, thus to
  the Eastern Caribbean and across the island chain to Bahamas and
  Florida.
