Wind 18-23 knots apparent from east. Close hauled sail in 3-6 ft waves. Averaging 7 knots and lovely sail with Bokensha and Novastar in follow. Others slowed down by reefing for Novastar and job away for Bokensha. We decided to continue at current speed of 7-8 knots since crossing the Gulf Stream. About 10 nm from the destination, had to slow down to avoid entering the marina at night. Sails away and motored in rough seas for 4 hours going back west in very uncomfortable conditions. Arrived in the morning daylight without issue with immigration waiting for us.  A doctor interviewed us and immigration inspected the boat asking for a present after.
