Dolphin escort

10 November 2010 | west of Cape Fear
This morning, almost a dozen dolphins were swimming between the hulls and across the front of the hulls. They stayed with us for several miles - maybe because we were sailing faster than normal at 7-10 knots? After hitting 11-13 knots and putting in a reef, we lost them. We usually sail slower and they get bored with us. This time, we got bored watching them, though we did try to get a picture from the little window in the head.

Our destination last night was Charleston, SC. This morning we reevaluated and Ed still wanted to go to Charleston even though we would get there after dark. Lynn wanted to be conservative and go to Winyah Bay to arrive in daylight before the ebb current started. So Ed changed the sails for Winyah Bay. Then we changed again for Charleston. Then we changed again for Winyah Bay. Winyah was the final choice on a bright sunny day after a bumpy night. Our trip into Winyah was much less exciting than coming in on our last trip in stormy weather with a counter current.
