We had a good first 24 hours with winds on the beam and a pretty big sea of 6-8 ft. Today the winds have dropped and we are presently motor sailing.
The weather in the Bahamas over the past 5 days was cloudy and rainy and much colder than we had been used to. We are now north of that bad weather in a high pressure ridge that is giving us clear weather but with little wind. Once we cross the ridge we expect the wind to come around to the west and we should be able to turn the engine off.
Right now we are about 200 miles off the Florida coast just north of Daytona Beach and are currently at 29 degrees, 30 minutes N, 77 degrees,28 minutes West. We are 325 miles from our destination of Beaufort, NC.
The SPOT will be on periodically to track our progress real time.
