Frank departed St Croix at 21:00 local Christmas Eve, 01:00 GMT Christmas Day. I sailed non-stop to Port Aransas, arriving around 23:00 local time, 14th February, 05:00 GMT 15th February. On Frank the entire journey was timed in GMT.

Non-stop excludes two days becalmed in the Caribbean and two days becalmed off Port Aransas. 

The transition from Caribbean to Gulf, between Mexico and Cuba, was especially rough but eventually we made progress.

Updates to follow.
