We set out from Charleston and the city marina early this afternoon. The weather looked ripe for an offshore jump to either Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina via South Port or directly to Beaufort, North Carolina.

It is now 8 pm. and I just came off watch. Amy is holding down the fort outside and I am typing to you, our loyal readers. So far, we have had been sailing in 12 knots of wind just off the beam. The seas are 3 - 5 feet in a northerly swell with an added 2 foot wind chop knocking us a round for fun.

Time for some shut eye, more tomorrow.
