Because this delivery originated in eastern LI Sound, the owner had assumed I'd go via Bermuda, but that route has always made me nervous this time of year... This is a good reminder of the reason why...

If I knew then what I know now, I probably would have headed down the ICW from here, and staged a departure for Saturday from Beaufort... Oh well, it will still be a sporty ride down the beach to Hatteras Friday night, sure hope that breeze behind the front has enough westerly in it...
