The Gulf Stream is a water current off the eastern coast of the US, 
contains a lot of fish (that's where the deep sea fishermen go off the NC 
coast to catch the big ones.) As far as I know there is no wind that runs 
parallel with it.  In fact the prevailing wind here is in exactly the 
opposite direction (The Gulf Stream is about 150 miles away from me.)
