From Houston to the port in Kingston, Jamaica is 1,299 nautical miles. Traveling at a vessel speed of 10 knots, it would take 5 days and 10 hours to make this part of the trip. From Kingston to Galveston is 1,256 nautical miles. At an average of 10 knots, it would take 5 days and 06 hours.
Houston is very unlikely to experience a tsunami. Most tsunamis originate at subduction zones of which there are none in the Gulf of Mexico. There are islands that would block a tsunami in between the Gulf and the nearest subduction zone. Most tsunamis that somehow find their way to Texas will be fairly small, though still capable of causing damage. Even in an event like this, Houston would be protected from the tsunami by Galveston Island and the Bolivar Peninsula.
Houston, tx There are a lot of other answers too, depending on what you call "near". That point is actually offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, about 22 miles east of Freeport TX and 24 miles southwest of Galveston.
That would probably be Gilbert.
Jamaica would be under the influence of the subtropical jet at times. The polar jetstream never makes it that far south.
The size of the sailboat would depend on the amount of people and gear going on the trip as well as the type of boat. Some 13 foot sailboats can be outfitted for the trip while other models need to be over 20 feet to even think of sailing this path.

The question should be "When is the sailboat the stand-on vessel...? The answer is if the sailboat has an engine and if it is in operation, the sailboat is treated as a power boat in determining stand-on status. The right-of-way would then follow the rules for power boats.
Whether you mean Galveston Airport or the Port of Galveston, it would be cheaper to rent a car than take a metered cab ride. If you find an independent cabbie, you can negotiate a flat rate for the fare. If you are willing to spend a little time communicating, this can be done by phone or e-mail in advance as a " time call " or scheduled pick up.Do NOT pay the whole fare in advance , get written confirmation of the agreement. Better yet , take the airport shuttle to the Greyhound or Traiways station and take the bus to Galveston.
The length of time it takes to fly from Houston in Texas to Portland in Maine is 5 hours and 30 minutes. It would take 28 hours to drive between the two locations.
