Osprey finally departed Fort Lauderdale at 0845 this morning 5th November and after a trouble free passage down the New river cleared the Port Everglades fairway buoy at 0930. We were all very glad to get away after a difficult month and last week getting the work to the boat completed of which more later. We are currently crossing theGulf Stream heading for the Provindence Channel through the Bahamas. Once at Eleuthera we will re-evaluate the weather and make decisions on whether to track the islands south for a while before heading out into the Atlantic or proceed directly out.Osprey has passed all the trial which we conducted just outside Port Everglades and which we were not able to do whilst at River Bend Marine Centre. Little and variable wind at present so we are motor sailing to get across the Gulf Stream Quickly.
