While this trip was epic for your group, 62 years ago my dad & myself traveled from West Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island & back in an 18 foot skiff powered by an 80HP Volvo I/O. We made the trip with another same size craft & encountered 6 - 8 foot swells along the way. My Dad wad an excellent boater & this was accomplished decades before modern electronics like chart plotters & Loran or GPS. You maybe know something about using Nautical charts & offsets for the Gulf Stream Current. You probably do not know how to use a sextant for navigation but the "old timers" did.
