Gail Butler would have loved this day

This was a scene form yesterday, which Kath posted for me. Today was long, but eventful. We departed the dock at 0705 and arrive at Seascape Marina (just above Beaufort) at 1850. Joe had to hold a search light on the bow, and we communicated via head phones; however we negotiated some night time sailing with Nanc's approval.. Motored sailed for about 5 hours, and Nanc fixed Joe and I a super dinner. We plan on refueling at 0600 in the morning and sailing outside to Wilmington tomorrow. Would like to make Southport, but that may be a bridge too far. The current will be against us in the Cape Fear River. Would like to make Charleston Thur, but who knows. Nanc is feeling better each day, and enjoying the adventure (her birthday is tomorrow.) I am also glad to be away and not thinking of what the future may be each day. Wish you all could be here with us. The weather in the enclosure was pretty nice today, and I hope that will be repeated tomorrow. Magnolias has the best shrimp, sausage and grits in the whole world. Stand by. S
