Cruising North in the Gulf Stream
There have been a few recent posts here and elsewhere which mention
cruising north in the Gulf Stream. Having done that recently with
mixed results I'm interested in hearing about the experiences and
opinions of others. The attraction of course is 3 kts or so of free
boost in speed saving both time and fuel. Downside is the possibility
of northerly winds filling in and kicking up some really short, steep,
nasty head seas.
