Michael and I are on watch. We deviated from out rhumbline to avoid a front going into the Gulf Stream and to dodge a Gulf Stream meander, which would have made our crossing long and arduous. Current position is 39.22.131N 67.17.124W. Wind is NE 11-18, seas 3-5 ft. and dampening. Sea temp 61.5 F. Will enter the Gulf Stream today. More later. Donna
