Welcome to CF!
A buddy just made it to KeyWest from Coz in a trimaran in 4 days....nonstop

How often you plan to port? You going 24/7?... Lotta variables

is that amelia island, fla???? if you measure the distance and count on 5-7 kts per hour, you will have the answer roughly.

You can ride the current for a lot of it. Much of it will add 4 kts to your speed.

Thanks for the replies guys! Was off line for a bit and not able to reply till now. Trying to get everything sorted out for the trip. Unfortunately in all the excitement of getting my new boat, I forgot which way I was going!!! I will be sailing from Amilia Island FL. to Cozumel. Not the other way around. Sorry about that. Also I am planning to sail as much as possible with minimal stops. Not interested in docking up anywhere except when I get to Cozumel. Are there anchorages along the way or do I need to dock up in a port to rest? Probably going to have Lot's more questions and it's nice to have this forum available!

go to dry tortugas then across to cozumel. beautiful pace ddry tortugas and no provisions nor fuel nor water--just a rest stop.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will consider it. I don't think I will need any additional fuel or provisions so, that might work out well. I will be carrying additional fuel and lots of provisions. I think I need to start another thread with the correct question and maybe get some help....
