Cape Lookout Bight
3 October 2014
We did some ocean sailing today, we sailed from Morehead City to Cape Lookout Bight. Sailing was great with schools of dolphin everywhere.
Cape Lookout is a large hook that protects a lovely bay from all directions. The water is pretty clear and deep. There are about 8 boats anchored here. We’ve launched the dink and are exploring the shoreline. There are waterman using nets to catch some small fish, spot. Last night a skiff was here after dark with 2 large underwater lights and two guys standing on the bow with gigs spearing flounder in the lights.
Today is is overcast with a promise of afternoon sun.
The dink in yesterdays pictures belongs to the catamaran in todays. There is not much room for anything else on the boat. The story, according to Dan, is the guy arrived a few years ago and he needed to repair his diesel. He’s taking classes to learn how to fix diesels, must be a long class or he’s a slow learner as the motor has been in Dan’s brothers garage for three years.
