This was the coldest night of the trip. We bumped into one or two drifting trees, but no harm done.

I know we are moving; it just does not feel like it as the boat is steady as if tied to a dock.

There are waves of warm and cold air, as pockets of warm air seem trapped in the troughs between the warm Gulf Stream waves. There is still have heavy west swell running steeply, knocking us around a bit. Karl Thu, 03 May 2007 17:23:06 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/svmabelrose?xjMsgID=29101
