We made it, 340 miles in less than 3 days. It was as easy a sail up the coast as you could ask for. The entire time the wind was behind the beam and we only had to run the engine about 5 hours when the wind died away. If all sailing could be so easy everyone would be doing it. Plus, it saved us over 500 miles of running the ditch! (About 10 days of mind numbing puttering all at 5 miles/hour).
The sunset was nice but this shows the waves that we typically had.
We enjoyed a full moon the entire time (sorry for the poor picture)
Part way through the 2nd day the winds dropped off (you can see how calm it became) and I went over the side to clean the bottom.
The sunrise coming into the outterbanks.
