Answer:

Towards the Atlantic ocean

Explanation:

The Gulf Stream usually refers to the warm oceanic surface current that originates from the Gulf of Mexico and flows along the eastern coast of the United States as well as Canada and eventually moves towards the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

The speed of this warm water current is drastically very high, which is roughly about 30 million cubic meters per unit second, flowing through the straits of Florida.

If a raft is tried to drift on these currents of Gulf Stream right from the Florida coast, then the raft will be carried forward at a tremendously faster speed and it will eventually reach the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

Substinence farming is farming food that is just enough to live off of. You don't sell substinence crops.

Commercial farming is growing food to sustain you, and having enough left over to sell.

In both, you grow food and you keep some (or all) for yourself.
