Pleasantly Surprised

Chris Hannant

With a swell forecast of 4 feet at 6 seconds and lighter winds, I was not banking on a super comfortable passage. I need to have low expectations more often! The waves were at just the right angle and the wind was a little stronger than expected. It was an insanely comfortable and no-maintenance sail. Had the jib out to fight the current through the inlet and shortly after getting our course I swapped it for the code 0 and cut the engines. I didn’t have to make a single adjustment all day besides a couple degrees here and there on our heading! The only bummer was that we had a little bit of a gas leak from our dinghy can on deck, which wafted into our hull and got Janie feeling nauseous. She pretty much never gets seasick (unlike me) but was out of commission all day. Luckily, Talon was awesome and thought it was really funny whenever he would lose his balance from the motion 😂 Surfed our way into Masonboro inlet just in time to drop the hook for sunset!
