Heading North

Hello all, I'm beginning to think about working my way back north from the Bahamas, perhaps around the first week or so in April. I would like to find crew along the way so that I can make a few large outside jumps back up to Boston, or Portsmouth, NH. The ICW is not my cup of anything! Right now I'm in the Exumas (Warderick Wells Cay), will be in Nassau next week, then a possible shot up to the Abacos. From there, possibly across to northern FL, and then, who knows??? I could also use some suggestions re: timing for being back in New England around May 1. A heads up on the usual weather conditions for this type of trip back, doing some inside, some outside, etc. would be very helpful. Thanks, Ira C. Reba s/v Valkyrie Scanmar 33
