NEWS:
We have entered the gulf stream. As expected it is a bit choppy with wind driven chop and some remaining swell from the low-pressure systems. The sea should improve considerably once we are through the stream and out of the current. It looks like we are in the right position as we are making 9.5 knots through the water and 15.5 knots over ground.
