PLOTTING THE GULF STREAM.

In this video, we explain how we plotted the gulf stream coordinates to give the best speed whilst travelling up the east coast of America, up towards Beaufort City and Hatteras…

If you are planning a journey and wish to plot coordinates for the best possible course, watch this video for some helpful tips on how to do it.
