Sail Vicarious Vol. 5: Cruising to Paradise -- Miami to the BVI

Spencer and Kathleen Bailey want to sail around the world, but first they need to find the right sailboat, give it a 30-year refit and then outfit it for blue water cruising. When done they cast off for extended coastal cruising along the U.S. East Coast from Maine to Florida via the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). Then they venture offshore across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas, and voyage south through the islands of the eastern and western Caribbean. Part 5
