This body of water is known for very rough seas due to it's shape and location, the shallow shelf that extends outwards, so that big ocean swells really pile up when they run into it. And there are various coastal currents that change with the tide, So there were a few unknowns to be prepared for. Therefore, we chose our crossing time with great care. Winds were light and seas were calm, so it was a moderate and easy two day passage.
