Beaufort to Beaufort

That is Beaufort NC to Beaufort SC…285 mile passage anchorage to anchorage…two days and two nights of sailing. What we saw and did along the way…

A shrimp boat waiting for daylight out at Cape Lookout Bight.

Cape Lookout Lighthouse as we were leaving.

Beautiful sunny day for a sail!

We were entertained by dolphin multiple times over the two day passage.

We never get tired of watching them!

Reading…

Plot the course electronically before we leave then follow it.

Plot the course on paper chart every 3 hours. This matches our watch rotation and is a back up if the electronics fail for some reason.

Overcast the second day but perfect wind for sailing!

Gray skies all day!

A big schooner passed us with all their sails up.

Dolphin show…

More dolphin…

Dolphin again…

And again…

And again…

Yep again…

We really love watching them.

They are such happy creatures.

We had a huge pod at one point with big ones and small ones leaping  all around us then we noticed that we were sailing through a huge school of Krill…it was a smorgasbord for the dolphin!

Welcome to South Carolina! Thankful for a safe passage.
