The Gulf Stream with the combination of the opposing Atlantic swells and the prevailing easterly winds would be a big factor. Not to mention the major shipping traffic in the Gulf having only two entrances / exits to the Gulf, the Straits of Florida and the Yucatan Channel. It is my understanding that a good part of the ship traffic is traveling approx. 25 miles off the coast of Key West. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
