We are about 25 nautical miles from our destination, Brunswick, GA, and expect to be dropping the anchor between 10 and 11 pm tonight. Tomorrow we will raise the anchor and go to the Morningstar Marina in Brunswick, where we will wait for the next weather window. With any luck we will have a window to travel further N for at least 24 hours within a few days. This passage hasn’t been bad, although it was almost all motoring. The Gulf Stream increased our speed by 3 to 3 1/2 knots for several hours. Very early this morning the wind turned to the NW, kicking up some chop on our bow which we had to bash through. Eventually the wind went to the NE as we were exiting the Gulf Stream and we were able raise the sails and turn the engine off for two hours.
Finally sailing. The moisture on the dodger windows was salt water that splashed up when we were bashing through the waves.
The water is calm now as we motor toward Brunswick.
