Nov 8: Just North of Hatteras




There is not a whole lot to report today. This morning’s breeze was nice, allowing me to steer pretty much in the direction I wanted to go, but as predicted, conditions have turned light and variable. Barring dramatic changes, it looks like I’ll be doing well to anchor off Beaufort, NC some time tomorrow (Monday) night. The weather is not supposed to turn lousy until Wednesday, so sliding into Beaufort first thing Tuesday morning should be fine.

It actually got warm enough in the sun today to remove my jacket. It will be cool tonight, but soaking up some sunshine was fun while it lasted.

I saw a lot of fish slapping around on the surface, including one very large one (4-5 feet) that leaped clear of the water. I couldn’t identify it, but I have a line out now in the hope of perhaps snagging dinner.
