Cast off from Brewers Marina iat 1pm into Gardiners bay with NE 30 kts of wind 6' chop out going tide,after getting beat up pretty bad from rough seas and ED and Rauol got sea sick pretty bad,so we decided to stop off inside Montauk Harbor and anchor over night.

Docked at teach's Marina and attempted to get the autopilot fixed,did some laundry shower and went to Dirty Dick's crab place for some cold beers.
Nice people at teach's marina,had dinner on board DVD good night sleep.

Motored down Cedar Creek ICW down to Morehead city where fueled up and took some Showers,Rauol decides to get off boat and drive down to Florida,he really did not really get over feeling sick.
12 pm cleared the breakwater and out the inlet.
10/27/08 32 NM off Cape Fear,NC
My turn to reel in a fish which turned out to be a nice size King Mackrel
ed and russ clean and cook what was one of the best tasting fish I ever had
while watching a wonderful orange sunset,we each did three hour shifts at the helm hand steering without autopiolet.
10/28/08 181 NM off Georgia coast an inverted front came out of the west at night which was a full Gale winds 35 to 45 kts,needless to say it was not fun and had us jumping around re trimming our sails.
10/29/08 pulled into Cape Carnavel marina late at night and had a good sleep at the fuel dock.
Next morning girls at the marina let us use the showers and off we went down the barge canal and motored down the ICW all day and got to the dock at the Fort Pisrce town marina for the night.
Went into town for some clams and cold drinks.
10/30/08 Motored back to Riverside Marina where it will stay until I set sail around the keys for Punta Gorda.
It was a great adventure that I always will remember.
