5/9: winds very light, <5 kt. E, seas flat-calm w/ 2' E swell. But, we're motorsaillng at 5.8-6+kt. SOG w/ only 2000 rpm on engine – we've found the Gulf Stream & it's helping us thru the Straits of Florida. Today's forecast has us right on the edge of 2 weather systems, so it'll either stay calm for us or winds will increase behind us to the 20s; if it gets breezy we'll be surfing in to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow 5/10 instead of driving. All's well. m
