Today we intend to continue down the ICW which will take us across the Pungo River with waters deep enough to raise the sail for the first time see how she sails. We raised the genoa and she handled great! This is what I signed up for, this and Caribbean Beaches!
Alas It was short lived! We had to go back into the canals. Traveling through the North Carolina countryside we saw shrimp boats, and fishing boat type that is a open hull with the pilot high up in a chair looking along the shore. Not sure what they are looking for? Clam beds? We headed out into the open water of with some choppy seas on our route to the Pamlico Sound. White caps, and good size swells, real manly stuff.
For night we settled into a mooring along the ICW. All in all a good day. Highlighted by getting the genoa sail up and being able to see stars at night. The sky was awesome!
Dennis is always happiest when the sails go up. Love your blood on the adventure with my dad. It’s great to see and read about the adventures as it happens.
Thanks for the updates. I will pray to St. Christopher for you all
Hi Dennis, Joan alerted me that you are cruising the coast of NC in a sailboat. I read a little of your website and it sounds like an adventure. Livin the dream!
