We currently have 2 knots of breeze from the southwst. We are motoring at 7kts and have 1.8 kts of current. We are heading North. In about 5 hours, we turn to the northeast to follow the stream towards Hatteras. Unless some breeze arrives, we will need to stop to refuel. It looks like another trip to Beaufort, NC., 36 hours away.
At least Fairtide will be north of Brunswick, Ga.. That will keep our insurance company happy. That's all for today.

Happy Birthday Suzanne.
