Dear Philip,


Got up to Cape May last night from Key West. It was
an interesting trip and I might add a difficult one
with lots of heavy weather.

As we approached Cape Fear the wind increased to about
force 6 and stayed there for two days. The wind was
out of the South West and on our stern. We could not
sail. The wavs got about 10 to 12 feet and it was a
lumpy ride and steering kept you busy. I must say
that the boat is a superb sea boat and the motion was
very comfortable and sleeping easy.

As I rounded the Hatteras red buoy at midnight, a
squall came across us. It blew 60 or so for a while
and the seas got very big and confused. That was
rather exciting except that a hugh ship was passing on
my port side. Then for some odd reason I still can
not figure, he turned to port and I saw his red and
green lights coming at me and then his green light. I
threw the wheel over as he came across the bow. We
passed starboard to starboard at a distance of about
500 meters. Of course while ass this was happening,
the wind from the squall was blowing rain across the
deck. All very exciting!

From Hatteras to home was lumpy but uneventful.
Heading to New York soon.
