We're HOME!
We got out of the ICW yesterday and Donnie & Vickie aboard "Charisma" met us up river and we raced towards New Bern in about 17 kts. of wind. Both boats hit speeds of 7.2 to 7.3! It was awesome and we had such a WONDERFUL time. Charisma even had her mizzen sail up and she was GORGEOUS! It was the first time in over a month and a half that Long Gone did any real sailing and it was such a thrill. We're at the T-Head at the Bridgepointe awaiting a slip where we'll be for the next month and then head up to Baltimore/Annapolis and points north.

It's been a while since I've been to the blog, but I got caught up today. Not being a sailor, I'm learning a lot from your blog, but more than that, I'm growing an amazing respect for the sailors that plied these waters before there were internal combustion engines or buddy boats to help. It's hard to imagine sailing into these as unknown waters in deep draft ships with mostly square rigging. And I'm pretty sure there were no Bi-Lo's around for provisioning!
