Day 18 was a swift sail from Crab Cay to Great Sale, then ending the day at Mangrove. We traveled with the wind for once so managed to make great time with the engine off for much of the time, breaking 6kts for a significant portion of the trip.
Later on in the day, a storm passed and we took down the main (we have left the jib down due to worries about it currently fraying and potentially ripping), which was good because the wind totally died in the wake of the storm. It was supernaturally calm and almost creepy, the water like a lake for miles around. You could see the bottom clearly, as there were no waves interrupting the view. With the way the sunlight scattered through the overcast clouds the whole sight just seemed unreal. Almost as if we had entered into a pocket dimension.

Day 19 we woke up right with the sun and didn't even make breakfast before going on our way. We did take out the main again, but it wasn't providing as much speed as yesterday so we're supplementing with Bekey.

We went to West End for refueling and took a shower at their facilities, then headed for the stream.
We're pointing straight 270 at the coastline and letting the stream take us north however far it does. Based on last time, we'll probably make it to Fort Pierce without even aiming for it. Hah.

There is no internet in the middle of the gulf stream, surprise surprise, so I'm doing this entry early. I'll make another one tomorrow since at this rate we'll arrive at FL late and want to sleep the first chance we get.

We'll text those concerned once we get back in the states.
