What this video covers
A cruising couple sailing from the Bahamas to Miami, Florida, navigates the Gulf Stream by balancing wind direction against the current to maintain a direct westerly course.3:25 They report that a light headwind helped counteract the strong northerly set of the Gulf Stream, allowing for a smooth crossing without the steep, uncomfortable seas often associated with this passage.3:02 Upon arrival in Miami, the crew clears customs at the cruise ship port, noting that private vessels entering the United States with passengers holding an ESTA visa may face complications, as the visa is intended for commercial transport.18:46 After clearing in, they anchor at Key Biscayne, a location recommended by other cruisers for its proximity to the city and airport.15:41 The crew experiences frequent, intense tropical squalls characterized by high electrical activity, prompting them to disconnect the boat's batteries as a precaution against lightning strikes.31:58 They also manage bird droppings on their canvas and bimini while utilizing marina facilities to replenish water and fuel supplies.22:56
