I am interested in bringing my boat to Florida next fall! 1995 Catalina Islander 34 with yanmar 170 diesels 12- 14 knots Checking to see if anyone makes the trip and when would be a good time to leave and slips availablity
300 gal tank/cruises 10 - 12 knots/ 10 gallons a hour I believe around 900 miles I have twin yanmars 170
Boston to LI sound isn’t all exposed. From Boston to the cape cod canal is open depending on the sea direction, and maybe 30nm. Then the canal through buzzards bay is protected. Then a crossing of block island to race point which is maybe another 30nm. It’s not that bad if you watch the weather, which of course you are doing.

Worst part of the whole trip could be the west end of Cape Cod Canal or mouth of Buzzards Bay. A 20 knot southwesterly with an outgoing tide will have you rethinking the whole boating thing in general.
Buzzard's Bay isn't open ocean by any means...but it can get UGLY.
