Bimini to West Palm Beach, FL
15 May 2011
It’s good to be back in the USA!! We made landfall this evening around 7:00 pm. We had a wonderful ten hour sail across the Gulf Stream (80+ miles anchor to anchor) including a heave to for a safety and boarding inspection from the US Coast Guard. Encountered a short squall with gusts to 35 with full main and genny up – with the assistance of the Gulf Stream current we hit 14.5 knots! Nothing broke, no injuries, calm anchorage in Lake Worth, West Palm Beach. Flying yellow quarantine flag till Customs clearance. Thank you Lord!
