I’m glad that passage is behind us. It feels like yesterday we were at the marina when actually three days blurred by.

Picking the weather window wasn’t all that hard, there weren’t many choices, basically storm or no storm. First we looked for a day there would be no wind at Cape Hatteras, the Gulf Stream gets really close to land around here. The Gulf Stream is a river of warm water meandering to Cape Hatteras where it disperses out to sea producing a 2-3 knot current northward. The big danger is when there are winds out of the north opposing the current thus producing dangerous brick wall waves. A wind out of the north is great for sailing but should be avoided in the Gulf Stream, and a wind out of the south is great for the Gulf Stream but would really beat us up bashing into the wind and waves.

Ok so this is getting long winded. The point is Thursday was predicted to be windless at Cape Hatteras, it took about 30 hours to get there so we left the day before and had a fantastic sail enjoying 10-15 kts of wind and a favorable current giving us speeds of 7-9 kts.

We were quite cold. The kids and topaz stayed in bed all day bundled up with all their blankets. Everyone practiced sea sick management, most of us were successful, a few were not.

The air temp was in the low 50s and water temp around 44 degrees, our new enclosure was a life saver keeping the wind, sea spray and rain out of the cockpit.After that we motor sailed around the Cape’s confused seas and through the 78 degree Gulf Stream to Lookout Point in North Carolina. Friday we were warm and the water was calm so Roy did a little fishing.

Zing is the sound we listen for from his reel. Fish On, and the excitement begins. Roy got a nice Tuna.

On the way into the anchorage there were dozens of small fishing boats out and this further interested Roy. The anchorage is surrounded by beautiful low islands with dune grass and sand. One island has horses on it and there are dolphins and turtles swimming around us. Roy set up his fishing department with Marie casting off one side while he is on the other and Genny is the paparazzi taking photos. He pulled in a few small sea trout and a few spot and is excited to see what else might be swimming below us.

Unfortunately the water is in the 50s again so it won’t be any of us swimming, but maybe he’ll get just the right fish to keep. Roy has been getting good about catch and release since he and I are the only ones who eat it.

Storms are on their way, we may be here awhile waiting for the weather to calm down to 10-15 out of the north. Until then we’ll read, relax, do puzzles, I’ve been anxious to spend some time with the kids, all the boat chores have kept me away from mommy duties. Last night I cooked for the first time in weeks, Genny had been in charge of making Taquitos, pbj, mac and cheese and selecting take out. We had salad and a yummy potato soup and then the sisters and I played cards and Marie got a manicure.

The anchorage has no Wifi, our Sprint hot spot isn’t getting reliable 3G but I can get email occasionally on my iPhone.
