Sailing down that way I often make offshore hops when the winds are favorable. I want to always have a 'bail-out' stop in mind if the weather turns nasty, so I put together this list. Much of this has come from comments on this board over the years. If anyone wants to add or comment please chime in, it's a work in progress.
