I have crossed this time of the year and I can tell you that there is not much daylight. You should calculate your speed with that in mind. Arriving offshore of Carabelle at 4 AM is no fun when daylight is at 7.

An additional factor to consider is weather. Cold fronts are back to back causing it to get very rough out there.

I believe that I would do the bend and run only in daylight hours. Your speed will be an advantage and your draft is very do able for the ports.
