Good trip, easy sailing.

Good weather, good sailing, nice speed. Wind is stronger out by the reef, quicker to follow it than to cut the corner. Close to shore wind is almost 0.

Excellent sail, the most beautiful water, good wind, can be gusty going through the cuts but they are easy enough that it isn't an issue. Good anchorage at Middle long Cay to have sausages for lunch.

Excellent sail, down wind, waves carry you and give speed, the current is no longer noticable. The cut at San Pedro was unproblematic, nothing to report.

Very nice sailing, the reef blocks the waves and the sea is smooth. It's not recommended to sail through the middle of the atol with a draft deeper than 4.5'.

Awful passage, squalled over and over again, rained with lightning most of the time. Between squalls the wind was dead. slow progress, glad it's over.

Relatively easy passage, stay close to the reef and the current is not a problem. I stay outside the bay at Isla Chal as long as I can because there are lots of lobster pots to avoid inside the reef.

Relatively easy passage, the current was strong at points and slowed me down a lot but mostly it wasn't a problem

Gulf stream is near unbeatable, engine at 1800RPM and under full sail with 15k+ blowing, often couldn't get 1 knot. My advice to any readers is to stick very close to shore where current is less, when crossing the gulf stream, cross it perpendicular to the direction of flow.
