Warm, Wham, Wild!

We reached the Gulf Stream last night and the water jumped up to 73
degrees. At the same time a cold front met the GS and gave us a wild
ride. We had 30-40 knots of true wind just off our starboard bow all
night in very confused seas. This morning is backed down to 20-30
knots and about 20 knots now. The seas are still very confused,
making for a bouncy, lumpy ride, poor sleep and unsettled tummies.
But the sun is out and the air is warm.

The breeze is expected to taper off over the next 24 hours so we
expect to arrive in Bermuda early Tuesday morning.
