A very long time ago there was ( and still is ) a sail boat race called Newport to Bermuda. It takes place the last part of June with very little weather forecasting capability along the lines of today. No plotters, just celestial navigation. In the crew meetings hurricanes gained scanty notice that early in the season, just the gulf currents and their eddys and swirls.

My take, do it within a few weeks and you'll do just fine given all the navigation and weather gear you have on your vessel. Why not, that is why you bought the boat.
