Sorry, you rec.boaters don't know Bart. He's a sailing instructor who
said he was kicking off Monday to head south from CT.

It looks like we are leaving today. We need to make it
through the Gulf Stream before the Low moving in from
the west hits to avoid gale conditions. It is tracking
north of Bermuda and due there on Sat or Sunday.

We will be motor sailing to try to keep moving above
7 knots. The meander is weakening, but should give
us an extra 20 miles with the current lift.

Wish us luck.

Good luck, and don't let anybody steal your food!
Hope you find a warm eddy and a reach all the way.
