...I'm now in Beaufort, NC.

When I left Lake Worth,FL, I was heading toward St Augustine, FL. Just a little overnighter. But the weather forecasts showed five good days to head further north. So I just turned Galena's bow a little to the east and headed up the Gulf Stream to Beaufort, NC.

Four days later, here I am. 544 miles is now my longest single-handed ocean transit. I'm getting the hang of this long-distance stuff. Now I'll just drive her up the ICW to the Bay. All of the exciting stuff is done for this winter's trip.
