Rounding Cape Hatteras was not on our bucket list of places to sail. Getting around Cape Lookout and then to the point of Cape Hatteras went much as we had anticipated. Very challenging conditions, but we made good time. Then came the hurricane-strength winds as the sun went down. We had just started to point Northward. It was the most terrified we have been and did not know if Nauti Dream would hold up through the storm. At one point the bimini started to come apart and Lynn's inflatable life jacket deployed because we were getting soaked by the pelting rain and waves crashing over the deck. We made it through having hand-steered for 30 hours.
