Ocean currents

From Lori: This is an interesting website that shows the direction of the ocean currents in the Gulf of Mexico, Yucatan Channel, and Caribbean Sea.
After looking at this map, their route (and close proximity to Cuba) makes more sense to me.

  1. hmmm this is good stuff, i wasn't aware of the currents in this area. Been following these guys since they left mobile. Me and a friend have the exact same boat ('88 hunter 33.5) and made a few big trips like this. Very much looking forward to their description of the crossing.
