OWT w/ Jessica & Matt. Light air, sunny. Did lots of boat handling and had nothing tacking and gybing solo.

It was a calm, cloudy day with temps in the low 60s. Little to no wind so sailing was out. We had a windlass battery failure the night we anchored but used the generator to charge the battery and use it to hoist the anchor this morning. It was a long, uneventful day of motoring but worth the beautiful arrival in Beaufort, NC. Staying at Home Smith’s Marina & it is really nice! A Caliber 40’ is docked beside us. Sans Souci.

Variable winds 3-10 Great starts on both races Position less than First Learned more Crew Amy Larry

Light winds 5-11 knots Great teamwork with Larry and Amy flying the spinnaker! 2 First Place finishes

5-10 Knot winds CLOSE RACE‼️ back and forth the entire time. We got 2nd place by 5 FEET‼️ Crew- Amy Tom Goldsmith Would not have finished that way if they hadn’t flipped the finish line 😞 Fun day anyway 😁

Strong winds gusting up to 22 knots! Perfect race day. We all circled the upwind marker at the same time then we lost race 1 when we dropped the spinnaker into the lake. 😵‍💫 Race 2&3 were easily won during the up wind run‼️ It was an exciting day of racing! Crew: Amy Wes Munns

Sea trial. Tacking and practice all the things great wind and IRIS

Nice stretch of the ICW as it’s deeper and wider through the Maccamaw River. The water was full of floating Water Hyacinths. They look like small branches and occasionally you can see blooms on them. Georgetown is a quaint village with a main street full of shops and restaurants and a boardwalk along the water. Harborwalk marina docks and facilitate very nice and staff are helpful. Were docked right in front of a high end hotel, The George where we had a great dinner last night. Have been looking for alligators but still haven’t seen any.
