Hi everyone,
At 1200 today we are at 32 03N 077 43W steering 000M, motoring at 5 knots. Isolated rain clouds nearby but a mostly blue sky.. The wind was 2G5 from the W. Our noon to noon run by the log was 118nm. We have 1 knot of gulf stream current with us (at last). And we have 180nm to run to Morehead City.

Yesterday afternoon we motored from about 1400 until 2130 in very light airs. The thunderstorms coming off the Georgia coast reached us in the evening as a set of rain squalls. Winds only gusted up to 25 knots. They allowed us to sail until 0800 this morning when the wind died entirely again.
This morning we transferred 80 litres of diesel from jerries to the main tanks. That filled the main tanks giving us plenty to make Morehead City. There's no way we'd make it all the way to Norfolk so our change of destination has another good reason. We've been reading up on the ICW between Beaufort and Norfolk. Looking forward to motoring with scenery, pubs and fuel docks!
Today it's 32C in the cabin, the water temperature is (apparently) 42C and the air 29C.
Trust all's well where you are.
