We left Port Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island at about 9:00 AM on Monday and arrived in Port Canaveral at about noon on Tuesday. We started out motoring with no wind, but after about 6 hours we had enough wind to sail. We caught one Barracuda on the way to Florida. When we got to the Gulf Stream, our speed over ground was between 1 and 3.5 knots more than our speed over water. Winds were out of the South West so the chop in the stream was not bad at all. The winds got up to 17 knots and with the Golf Steam pushing us, we were moving along at 9 knots at times. The waves were only about 3 to 5 feet. We had a bird that was resting on the boat for about 45 minutes. We also caught a barracuda on the way.
We left the boat for a few days to spend time with my wife in Florida. We expect to be back on the boat heading North on Monday.
