20+DAY OFF SAILING ......
My advice for your crossing.

A Hobie 18 Magnum did it.
Take a spare Hobie 18 for parts, a chase boat for man overboard drills and lots of water and power bars. Oh yeah, a compass cuz north looks just like east on the water. XD

i have heard that the "arrival" date should be open ended...leave some cushin'...and of course, a good cook!!!
Read all the works of Joshua Slocum.
Seriously, though, there are several open ended "clubs" that specialize in those jaunts. A friend on the Wet Coast took a 2 yr LOA from the airline & went to Australia, 32 days from the Baja to Honolulu. They went down the West Coast where the crossing boats gather for a week or two at an event called the Baja HaHa.
If you are leaving Nov 8, well I guess it is what it is! Enjoy.
When the Hobie 18 got to Miami they took him to a hospital because of the state of his feet. Every scratch soaking in salt water for a month and told him he was going to lose both feet. They were able to save his feet. Not a risk I'd like to take, but I'm old and fearful. I have had my boat blow away from me faster than I can swim though.
Just sayin'.
duly is NOT sailing his beachcat across the ocean...he will be transporting a very large and luxurious cat cruiser to the virgin islands from spain...just wanted to clear that up for those who were worried... i can't imagine what my arse would feel like even after 2 days on the beachcat!
