Sale cay and meeting new adventurers

We spent two nights at sale cay waiting for a good weather window to cross the Gulf Stream back to Florida, about 110 miles. It includes a night passage to arrive at fort pierce inlet at a current direction that matches the wind direction to prevent large standing waves from forming.

While we were waiting we connected with this brave sailor who has taken his 24 foot Corsair tri and sailing it solo in the Bahamas. He had only been day sailing on fresh water lakes before this trip and appreciated some cruising tips and navigating tools we shared with him.

Robert from back II basics – never cruised before and only fresh water sailed before trailering his boat from Missouri to Florida to explore the Bahamas in his 26 foot tri. We had him for dinner and other conversations. We assisted in fixing his solar panels and a few other boat items.
