Crossing The Gulf Stream From Right To Left | Sailboat Story 67

We're crossing the Gulf Stream once again. In this video, we make a big mistake... ...we go back to the States. Well, that's my (Ben's) opinion anyways. Yes, it's sad but true. We cross the Gulf Stream from East to West and we wind up back in the land of brown water. It's actually a little more complicated than that because it really takes us 2 attempts to safely cross the Gulf Stream. The first time to try it, the swell was just ridiculous once we got 5 miles away from Bimini, so we turned around and spend 1 extra night in the Bahamas. It wasn't as great as it sounds though because the anchorage was very rolly. Ah well. The next day we get up and the seas had calmed down. Unfortunately the wind had also disappeared, so a motorboat ride it was as we made the 75 miles crossing from Bimini to West Palm. Lastly, I hope you can still enjoy the video even though a massive booger is visible during a good portion of the footage. That's all. Thanks for watching!!
