We’re leaving the Bahamas using the Gulf Stream to make speed northbound.
This is our last sail on the amazing Bahamas shallow banks as we’re preparing for the passage north to Beaufort and the Chesapeake Bay. For the first time we’re going to sail right up the Gulf Stream and hope to use the current to add to our speed.
We catch a large Mahi-Mahi, bake bread, and set up the sails for fast downwind passaging with the current pushing us up to 11 knots.
When we pull in to Beaufort North Carolina we demonstrate using the current and wind to help get out of the dock in a tight situation.
