At this pace, Avemar will be south of Charleston at this time tomorrow and then the winds build and build. Will we be far enough south? I don’t know but I’m developing a bail out route to St. Augustine. After a slow start from Beaufort, NC yesterday afternoon, winds picked up today! 25 knots from behind and 6.5 to 7.5 knots of boat speed for most of the day. The swell has set in now making things below a little uncomfortable but April and I are enjoying sailing again vs. the ICW! Oh, we lost the cups on our B&G wireless wind instrument at the top of the mast. That sort of sucks if for nothing else but to record these gusts in our logbook! We’re hanging on below!
