Under sail and on the way heading for our last port of call, "No Name Harbour" Biscayne Bay in the USA
Since our last post we have put a lot of water under "Whisper's " keel. We left Miami midnight on December 11 for the trip across The Gulf Stream. This stretch of water is a real challenge. The stream flows north up to 4 knots therefore when one is only doing 5 knots a plan of attack is vital. It would have been a blessing to have a good moon but this time we were out of luck. Again one must remember that this is one of the busiest traffic lanes in the world. There were a lot of tense moments through the night but all in all we got across safe and tired. We are presently in Bimini, Bahamas, where rum is $9.00 a litre. Coke is $2. a can. Will be heading further south in the next few days.
