June 5 - Finding the Gulf Stream

We sailed SE for a day or two in choppy seas. Wind against current is not desirable. Yesterday we tacked to the North to find smoother going. Water temps increased from 69 to 80 degrees, which means we found the Gulf Stream currents. Beautiful star-filled sky overhead during an active night of finding the right course. Today we have 8-10kn winds, a clear, sunny day, and a chance to straighten up the boat, put the fishing line out and get some rest. Things clicked for Caramel and she now finds her "mat" on her own to do her business = YAY. Sunset and sunrise appear interchangeable.
