Sail up to West End

To position ourselves for a Gulf Stream crossing to West Palm, we sailed up to West End from Lucaya.  As we left the marina channel, the waves were 6-8 feet and the wind mostly on the nose, but once we turned west, we screamed along at 8-10 knots downwind.  As we rounded Grand Bahamas and turned north, the wind was a beam reach to West End.  The trip was about 27.7 nautical miles and a beautiful day.
