We sailed five days up the Gulf Stream, pretty much uneventful with the exception of the fishing boat parked in the middle of the gulf stream in the middle of the night. We had to make an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision, of course just when wind and sails were perfect. All without incident and we sailed on. The sail up to North Carolina could not have been more perfect. One day for a good part of the day we had wind at our back, parasailor up, perfect seas; life just couldn’t have been any better. This is what it’s all about! We tucked into this cute little small town to avoid a little weather in Southport. We were in very much in need of a respite, with it just being the two of us and doing shifts of 3 on and 3 off we were just a wee bit tired. First thing we did once we tied up, was sleep!
