Ocracoke, NC
28 September 2014

We sailed out of the Pungo River yesterday morning. Glorious wind and abundant sunshine. The first time we sailed since Portsmouth. We had a great sail, broad reach, 7+ knots (fast for us) for 4 hours until we turned more north east to Ocracoke. The wind piped up to 23 knots and was on our nose so we powered for the next 3 hours with rough 5 foot seas. While going into Ocracoke inlet the channel was well marked but shallow and narrow in spots, lots of shoals, (many pucker moments) and the rough sea state didn’t make it any better. 
Robin wants to go to the beach today, we will try again to find a place to do laundry.
