Are those the tracks of your catamaran behind the buoy?
No, but maybe I could make it by at high tide under a full moon.
Buoy 4 is also on the beach, as well as a fishery buoy from some North Carolina Agency.
It looks like you're having some really great legs out in the ocean + you're sailing!
On the other hand I suppose you're giving up a lot of southward progress with the miles it takes to get out there and back in again, but I'd guess that you're not fixed on reaching Cocoa Beach by that launch. Besides I think I remember reading something about them having to delay due to a fuel tank sensor problem.
I've navigated the ICW through that region of GA and (per your prior comment) I found it to be one of the prettiest sections. Personally I didn't have any difficulty with currents, etc. through those waters. I really loved being able to anchor in places where there was nothing but miles of marsh in every direction and very few other vessels. The most challenging parts were when I had to cross some of the sounds that were exposed to the open sea because of the sideways swells.
Those dolphin photos are really great - especially the one where the dolphin is trying to remove your one remaining good rudder.
Say . . whatever happened to those rudder parts that you were due to get that would put back to 'as new' condition?
Here in NC we're getting some cold weather tonight so I imagine that you'll be doing the same. I know that new heater will be keeping you warm!
Ross,
Wassaw island is beautiful. Covered in palms and palmettos.
Northeast winds today. We'll make a little distance. Tomorrow we'll be at anchor during a Small Craft Advisory. This weekend looks promising with light northerly winds. If that pans out, we may be doing a lot of sailing.
I'll have some news of the rudders this weekend. Hopefully we're close to getting them, and the news will not be another twist in the rudder saga.
I can almost guarantee that I will lose my internet connection soon after leaving the sound this morning. It may be a few days before I get it back. See you all soon!
Scott
