At noon today we arrived in Southport, NC after traveling 496 nautical miles in 57 hours. Our average speed was 8.7 knots. The Gulf Stream gave us quite a boost—our average speed yesterday was 10.1 knots! We were able to sail for just 3 1/2 of those 57 hours but that is more than we expected. Now we are ready for some rest.
Last night’s sunset. The sun was a bright red color.
Dredging in the Cape Fear River. The bucket on the crane is dumping the spoils onto a barge.
The view from our slip. You can see the dredging operation in the distance.

Glad you are back in the continental U.S. Will you be traveling on the outside or the intercoastal?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Craig. We will be going outside since our mast is almost 65’, not including the instruments. We hope to see you and Sabrenia soon.
DeleteWelcome back to the states!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Grace. It is nice to be here, although it is a bit cold!
