What this video covers

Arriving in Miami from Bimini, the crew of La Vagabonde navigates the 3.1-knot Gulf Stream current, which requires a 17-degree heading correction to maintain a straight course.2:10 The transit highlights the danger of wind-against-current conditions in the Gulf Stream, where northerly winds create short, choppy, and hazardous seas.2:39 Upon arrival at the Coconut Grove Sailing Club, the crew secures a mooring ball and coordinates logistics for a group of patrons, including customs clearance and the delivery of online orders directly to the dock.4:53 The group plans a buddy-boat excursion to Nixon's Sandbar with a second vessel, Monoceros, but a sudden storm front with a small craft warning forces the fleet to remain at anchor.14:35 The crew hosts the patrons aboard La Vagabonde for dinner while monitoring the weather and nearby vessels struggling in the squall.14:42
