It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end

My wife, Pam, and I have just completed a 413 nautical-mile sail from Key Biscayne, Florida, to Hilton Head, South Carolina, on our Lagoon 42 – Shavasana. It is our most extended passage so far and the furthest out in the Atlantic Ocean we have ventured. We are headed back north towards the Chesapeake Bay and had a weather window that allowed us to sail into the Gulf Stream and ride that fabled ocean river north. The two to three knots of push make for some incredible boat speed over the ground, and we were often logging 8 to 10 knots with stern winds and following seas. From a sailor’s perspective, that is fast. I imagine the powerboat enthusiasts shaking their heads and smiling at such pitiful velocities.
