So you braggarts caught a fish...a pretty good sized fish. Now What Ollie!
Well, we had a great dinner. We had fish Taco's for lunch. We had fish appetizers with Lasagna. We still have fish...plus leftover lobster. We need to stay at sea at least another day. But, all things, good and bad, come to an end. Our ending has seen us dodging one giant lightning laden thunderstorm, a second pattern of storms developing around us and many chances to try to dodge them. Tom Bittenbender had his first experiences at the helm using radar to dodge the storms. He had the chance to talk to Freighters about course issues. YES ISSUES. Norm and Ron worked on similar dodging opportunities. And John and Toby, with Tom's help, reefed, in the dark, for strong winds. All, just to get around Cape Hatteras. That's just north, I might add, of Cape Fear. Now, off the Carolina Bank, we close in on the Chesapeake. Customs meets us tomorrow at the dock at 6 AM. All is well. Toby
