I have to assume that these 2 runs (Milk & Rhumb line) are both from
what I call up North. I would love some input on the simplest way to get
from say Cape Canaveral inlet to the Amer or British Virgins. I see many
possibilities but have yet to hear much on actual runs.

The Virgins are so 'essentially due east' you don't have a lot of choices from
Fla but to go out thru the Bahamas, down to Dominican Republic, over to Purto
Rico, over to Virgins. Not even sailors generally opt for the long windward
work 'above' the Bahamas, although it can be done.
