  My 44 is a 2003 and has a single 500 gallon tank. Our typical
  year was part of July, August and September in New England, Oct., Nov
  and
  part of Dec. traveling south. Jan. and Feb. in the Keys, Mar., Apr. &
  May
  in the Abacos, June begin the trip north to New England. I usually
  kept
  about 200 gallons in the tank except when leaving for the Bahamas. At
  about 1700 - 1800 rpm and about 7.5 - 8 knots, we'd average 3 - 3.5
  GPH
  or around 2 nm/gal. That would give you at least an 800 nm range.
  Cruising at 3100 rpm at 14 knots cuts that about in half.

  During the 3 years that we lived aboard, we encountered all kinds
  of weather and sea conditions in the various sounds, the Delaware and
  Chesapeake bays, the open Atlantic and the Gulf Stream. We tried to
  avoid
  bad weather but were not always successful. She always handled the
  seas
  well and we never felt that we were in any danger. So, although we
  never
  got to do it, I would think that she would do just fine cruising the
  Caribbean.

  One good thing about the 44 in the ICW is the relatively low
  vertical clearance requirement that allowed us to avoid a lot of
  bridge
  openings. - Ron
