We are leaving Beaufort sometime tomorrow morning. We are waiting for the seas to settle down a bit before we depart. Although I am relieved to not be leaving tonight, I am aware that the longer we wait the less sailing—and more motoring—we will do. The wind is forecast to drop significantly sometime tomorrow night. We have a total of 80 gallons of fuel; 40 gallons in the tank and 40 gallons in jerry jugs. That should be more than enough to get us to the Bahamas. Our fuel gauge is not especially accurate. It read 99% when we left home but we have no idea how much fuel was actually in the tank. The other day the gauge read 100% but George was able to add nearly another 10 gallons and we still aren’t sure if it is completely full. 
Picture of the promenade from yesterday’s walk. The long string of signal flags spell out ‘Beaufort’.
Mac and cheese for the passage.
Yesterday and today I made new meals for our passage since we have eaten most of the ones I prepared at home. Yesterday I made a chicken and broccoli casserole, today I made macaroni and cheese in the Instant Pot.
