Just posted over on Sailnet:
"hi, I am new to this forum. We are purchasing our 1st sailboat, a 44' Benetou. It is in Antiqua and we want to sail her to Galveston. We have read that November is an ideal time of year. Any recommendations on routes? How long will this sail take?
Damn, I certainly hope that "Benetou" is equipped with a joystick...
