Is That the Sun?
31 December 2010 | Carolina Beach, NC
Today was the first day in a long time I haven't had on 8 layers and 3 winter hats! In fact, no winter hats at all today, only a sun visor! Temps came up to the 50s and we even shed our gloves, unless at the helm. Not much wind but, strong currents, sometimes with us, sometimes against. We timed it perfectly for the Figure Eight Island Bridge and after that we had to contact the dredge working and slowed a bit for them to prepare for our passage. Next, we timed it once again perfectly for the Wrightsville Beach Bridge. Thank goodness for GPS! The sun felt so grand and warmed us through and through. Newton even enjoyed basking in the sunlight! We traveled about 28 miles in about 5 hours. Happy New Year to all! Tomorrow will be a day at the beach!
