We left home at 10:15 this morning and are now almost the to mouth of the Choptank River. The wind was right on our nose so we have been motoring. We recently put the sails up but still need to keep the motor running in order to travel at 6 knots and arrive in Beaufort, NC by Sunday afternoon. After Sunday afternoon the wind shifts to the South and becomes adverse. If we didn’t take this opportunity to get around Cape Hatteras we would have to wait at least another week. As it is, we will most likely be waiting in Beaufort for a week before we sail on to the Bahamas, but at least we will be past Hatteras.
Our friend and neighbor, Brad, alerted us to the fact that the “Where is Breeze On” link on the blog is not working. George cobbled together a temporary fix which you can use until we get to port and fix the other link.
