Crossing the Gulf Stream at night | Crossing from Florida to the Bahamas

We've been cruising the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida for almost a year. The experience has been amazing. But now it's time to take the next step, to venture further than we've been before, to put ourselves and Sea Star to the test. We're heading offshore. We're crossing the Gulf Stream from Florida to the Bahamas. And to find a suitable weather window, we're going at night, the darkness adding another level of excitement and fear.

In this video our good friend and mentor Russ Harvey from Skipjack Sailing visits us at our marina to give his insights on crossing the Gulf Stream. Russ is a wealth of knowledge and experience. Check out more from Russ on his YouTube channel Skipjack Sailing:    / @skipjacksailing8986
