Mojo's Wild Gulfstream Ride

Arrived in Bimini early yesterday afternoon. Did the crossing from Key Biscaynes No Name harbor to Bimini anchor to anchor in 6 hours! A run of roughly 50 NM. When we cleared the Biscayne channel, we could just see 2 boats to the east. It turns out one was "Miss Piggy" a Norseman 500 cat. They were transmitting an AIS signal so it was apparent they were a fast boat but we didn't realize what types until we closed with them entering the Bimini channel. Wee gained roughly 4-5 miles on them on the crossing and had sailed the entire way! Winds had been forecast to be NE at 5-10 which would have been marginal sailing conditions countering the gulf stream, but actual winds ended up being 18-25 knots from the N. Looking to head on to the East early tomorrow.

Proof is in the pudding

A nice day for 13 knots
