On Our Way

     We completed the first day of our passage as per our plan. We left Hampton in a strong, cold wind from astern. Today was sunny with winds around 20 knots, which was perfect to push us east across the Gulf Stream

     The water temperature rose from 14 degrees C to about 23 degrees C. We had dolphins playing in the bow wave for a while. We will exit the Gulf Stream in a few hours. We are travelling with Raftan and doing our best to stay within about a mile. We are sailing right now with another boat that we have been passing for the last couple of hours. The wind forecast for the coming days is looking better than it was with a bit more wind. So far, so good. I will check in again tomorrow.

  1. Good to know!!Keeping a close eye on the spot check. The dolphins must be wonderful to watch, puts a smile on my face every time I read about them following alongside the boat. Thanks for the update! Auntie Chris
