Before leaving we mentally prepared for 24 hours of dog shite with swell of 2m and boy, did it deliver. A quiver of doubt and questioning our life choices, we powered through. The swell seemed to amplify the closer we were to the centre of the Gulf Stream so we headed to the western edge to still get a speed boost but escape the very rough seas in the centre. Conditions have now calmed down and we’re heading back into the centre, and riding along smoothly. Fun fact: we’ve now made it further north than we did last year where we pulled off into Brunswick 💪🏻
