We left NC with a STRONG north wind coming off from the
coast so, we hugged the coast all day with excellent results; fast sailing and
very little waves. This lasted until the next day when the wind pulled around
on the bow and through a mix up of intentions as night fell we edged way too
far off shore just as the cold front came through. 40 miles off the coast, the
wind built to a steady 25 right on the nose for the entire night and life
became miserable, high waves, high wind and water everywhere. It was like
living inside of a washing machine. The next morning the wind moved again around
enough so that we could sail again but the left over large waves constantly
sent a wave top into the cockpit. It was yucky. By about noon we had made the
Fl boarder and decided to stop for the night at Fernandina Beach before going
on our way south. Besides, they have a civil war era fort here that we haven’t
seen before. Time for a break and to become tourists. (sorry, no pictures, too sea sick or to wet to use a camera)
