I'm here in Alice Town on Bemini and need to get to Fort Lauderdale. The winds are expected to get worse for the next week or so. Right now the winds are out of the N/E 15 to 18. What can I expect if I depart Bemini at first light? I'm thinking it will be ugly. I've only made the crossing one other time and everything says "no northern component" to the wind. My gut feeling is to stay put and believe what I'm reading but I would like your opinions. Thanks.
