We waited at Hospital Point until the weather calmed down and it was safe to go. That was at 7:30 pm Sunday night. We had a 14 hour window between episodes of high winds. We used 11 of those hours.

Hospital Point, VA

We traveled only about 12 miles from Great Bridge to Hospital Point. We are 0.2 miles from the termination of the Atlantic ICW. We have traveled 1019 miles on the ICW south and 1019 north, plus extensive travels in the Bahamas.

Great Bridge, VA

We had a nice trip up the Currituck Sound and stopped at the free dock in Chesapeake, VA. The dock is next to the bridge and lock at Great Bridge. It is an excellent lace to get off the boat and walk in the park.

Dowry Creek Marina near Belhaven

We left Beaufort at first light and motorsailed our way north. The day started calm and we fought the current up Adams Creek to the Neuse River. We passed Oriental, and kept on truckin'.

Staniel Cay Yacht Club

We had a long haul because the wind and waves were, you guessed it, in our face. We started by going our into the Exumas Sound with Cambridge Cay as our destination. After an hour we returned to Go, did not collect $200 and went inside on the Exumas Banks to head to Staniel Cay instead. The plan was to make the trip less athletic. With the wind from the SSE instead of the ESE as predicted, the revised plan did not work either. It was a slow day, but we tied up at the Staniel Cay Yacht Club around 3 PM.

We hope to either find a new solenoid tomorrow (today is Sunday) or order one and have it shipped here. We will see!

OK. To call the convenience store here a hardware store is a stretch. We ordered items such as the solenoid on Amazon and shipped it to the air freight firm in Ft. Lauderdale and they send it to us in Staniel Cay.

The Staniel Cay Yacht Club was incredibly loud last night. Loud music, loud people, loud boats. We went below, closed the ports, turned on the AC and watched a movie on Netflix. Monday is more quiet. We will be at anchor tomorrow night.
