After a few lovely days of R&R moored in Taylor Creek at Beaufort, NC, we lifted anchor and headed around the notorious Cape Hatteras early yesterday afternoon. We rounded the Cape early this morning with no problems and in almost totally flat water; however, as we have been motoring since leaving Beaufort will probably need to stop in Chesapeake Bay somewhere to refuel. Still very hot and humid....... and all four of us are looking forward to some cooler weather further north. All the best, Simon
