With that kind of vessel ( under the assumption that it is in a condition to cross and it has the proper equipment) I would give it a go. If you get out and it is rough, you turn around and go home. Or go to the keys. It is not that you just drove from 1,500 or something

Windy.com shows 3ft early reducing to 2ft around 10 am on Friday, and then Monday it looks 1ft on the way out.. I dont know your go/no go criteria.. but thats the forecast.

I believe that the storm will begin building on Wednesday (7 August) next week, so as long as it's not next weekend, that storm won't affect you.
