Jerome Rand completes a solo offshore passage aboard his Westsail 32, Sparrow, arriving at Fort Pierce Inlet, Florida after roughly 12 days at sea that included a gale. The final stretch runs through the Providence Channel between Grand Bahama Island and the Abacos, where Rand fore-reaches close-hauled in 20–25 knots of wind chop for five and a half hours after swapping the staysail for the storm jib to gain 25 miles of strategic positioning before a Gulf Stream crossing.1:04 A persistent diesel fuel-delivery fault forces him to manually pump the injector pump every two to five minutes throughout the inlet approach — a technique he had previously used for four and a half hours on the Intracoastal Waterway.13:08 He times the Fort Pierce entrance at slack water, then manages the pump cycle on a nine-second rotation between helm and engine as flood tide builds.51:13 A Coast Guard vessel challenges him near a Disney island anchorage, questioning his engine use; he negotiates a two-mile offset and continues under sail.47:11 Sea legs gone on arrival, he walks a mile ashore to recover equilibrium.53:36 The injector pump workaround is viable in a quiet inlet under a small craft advisory, but demands full attention and benefits from arriving at slack water.
