Motoring through light winds
We’re about 30 miles offshore of Charleston, SC, still headed for Cape Fear,
which is still 130 miles away. We spent last night dodging thunderstorms,
and managed to stay clear of them. We did experience some rain and some
localized headwinds that really slowed the boat. Now the storms have moved
out and we’re waiting for the wind to fill in. The forecast shows good wind
for the next couple days that should hopefully help us click off the miles
more quickly.
We were further delayed for an hour this morning when I hooked into a large
tuna that we released, story and pics to follow on the blog when we get
back.
We left Marsh Harbour on the 29th May and arrived in Beaufort NC on the 2nd June (not a good trip but we arrived in 95 hrs) – We are now in Elizabeth City – the” Harbour of Hospitality” – really. Free drive to the Farm Fresh and much more. To-morrow, we will be transiting the Dismal Swamp and will arrive in Norfolk VA on Wednesday – almost back to Deltaville VA.

Glad to hear you made good time. We almost ended up in Elizabeth City this week. Maybe we will catch up with you further north!
Maybe you will catch up to us when we stop this crazy boat stuff for a while ib Deltaville VA. We will look out for you there. It is a nice place to stop for a while.

Linda, I think the spam filter grabbed this by accident. Unfortunately, we cruised right on past Deltaville, but it’s a destination we’d like to check out in the fall. When will you be coming back to the boat to start the trip back south?
