False Start on Saturday

Sunday update:

Departed BDA on Saturday, winds were from the WNW and veering to NW about 24 knots, right on our intended course line for an entrance way point to the gulfstream. Could not make decent boat speed with the wind on the nose and it was unlikely we would make the Gulf stream in time to get through it before the gale force moved in. Boats to the north of us as well as Herb of Southbound II (weather guru) were reporting 35 knots from the NW. It seemed likely we would encounter the gale force in the Gulfstream so we headed back to BDA and looking for a better weather window.

I'll keep you posted.
