We are on our way to Florida. We left Meeks Patch, outside of Spanish Wells, at 8:30 last night with a plan to arrive in Ft. Pierce around 9:00 am tomorrow. We had planned to make the trip with just one overnight, however Chris Parker suggested we move our trip ahead to avoid unfavorable winds off of the coast of Florida during the day on Monday. Everything is going well so far. The winds have been fairly light so we have had to run the engine quite a bit. We raised the gennaker a few hours ago and have been able to turn the engine off. We will take the gennaker down before the sun sets and hope we will have enough wind—but not too much—to sail with the jib and mainsail.
