From Charleston, SC to Beaufort, NC
N 34 42.901, W -76 40.546
207 miles, under way 30 hours
We got a window of smooth seas, 5 to 10 kts out of the S SW with 2 to 3 ft. seas, so we ran an overnight from Charleston to Beaufort and stopped here for dinner last night. We will hang here a few days to resupply and give the cats a rest, and then go up the ICW to get to Norfolk Va. The outside around Cape Hatteras can be really rough, and it's a long run with no viable inlets; the shoals keep shifting and extend way out, so it's best to avoid that stretch of ocean altogether.

ReplyDeleteHey, I've avoided that stretch all my life!
But you're doing that stretch between Church and Castro twice a day. Thanks for the Noe Blog-it's great to see it all going on without us.
ReplyDeleteGreat going folks! Everything is normal here in La. Hot again.
