Coast Guard Rescues Five From Damaged Sailboat | Coast Guard News

The reported position 170 miles east of Elizabeth City, NC would have put them at about 70W in an area which at 2PM today was forecast as winds 25-30 knots NE....against the north-running Gulf Stream.

Not a very nice place to be in a small vessel.
