The breeze filled in late yesterday afternoon and we had a another delightful sail with a clear nights sky full of stars and good illumination from the first quarter of a waxing moon. We were enjoying a nice reach occasionally sailing in the seven knot range and those that were off watch slept very comfortably.
The breeze was getting light in the early morning and we were motor sailing until noon when the breeze filled in from the SE at 17 knots and were again sailing along at seven knots. We expect to enter the Gulfstream around 37 degrees North and 68 degrees West, sometime around midnight tonight.
The breeze is expected to pick up later to 20 or 25 knots from the East but hopefully will be less as we traverse the stream.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood with sunny skies and 74 degrees today.
More tomorrow after we get through the Gulfstream.
