Stuart Florida to Bimini, Bahama's

We left Stuart and headed down the ICW to Hillsborough inlet where we sailed out and made a straight line to Bimini.  All the guides say not to do that due to the 2.2knot opposing current from the Gulf Stream.  The wind was at our backs so to hell with the guides we let Mother Nature guide us.  Going where the wind is blowing regardless of the currents and suggestions in guides have worked very well for us.  It was an overnight sail with reasonable waves and wind.  The weather changed dramatically after we arrived.  Check out this picture a waterspout taken from the beach in Bimini.  Scary.
