Hi Brian, We did have some great sailing during the first 4 days, but also ended up motoring quite a bit in calmer weather. We weren't carrying that much fuel to begin with, only enough to motor for a few days + a little in total. I think I remember that we also motored through the Gulf stream to get through it faster. We were comfortable using that fuel in the beginning of the trip because we knew we'd be sailing great once we had made enough easting to get into the easterly trade winds. Then we sailed on a beam reach to close hauled the rest of the way.
Happy sailing,
