Great. It is an awesom trip. Having made the trip south on several occassions, I offer the following advice.
  1. Prepare each segmment and each day. Read your charts and chart Guides before each departure.
  2. Have a back up plan for each day.
  3. Enjoy the trip, don't push so hard you miss the trip itself.
  4. When in doubt, don't be afraid to back off for a bit.
  5. Check your machinery each day.
  6. Be sure you keep your radio turned on and listen to the conversations.
  7. Locale knowledge is invaluable. Use it.
Keep us posted.
