Can anyone give me advice on sailing from Oregon Inlet north to Hampton Roads? I've been advised to get away from shore and near the Gulf Stream? How far out? Landmarks, Waypoints, etc. thanks.

Not sure why you would venture out 40-60 miles to hit the gulfstream. I have made the trip on a seadoo but not my sailboat. No major obstacles or shallow areas of interest. The interesting part would be going through oregon inlet. The tide can flow 5-6 knots at times laying the nuns on their side. I have fished out of Oregon inlet and found that the shoaling can change with little warning. I have gone from 20 feet to 3 feet and still be in the main channel. Bridge height should be fine, but take a careful, look at the tide tables, and ask the locals about current shoaling. Oh yeah, and have fun.
