We paid our dues yesterday and so we were gifted today. Favorable winds, waves pushing us forward, and cooler temps brought us from Coinjock to Alligator, NC.
Carrie sailed with the jib most of the way maintaining a good speed averaging 5.5 knots. John crawled around the boat fixing this and that. Every day there is more to learn and another thing to fix.
We were making good time in the Alligator River and it was a perfect day culminating in some friendly dolphins swimming along the boat with us and demonstrating their seemingly effortless speed. As we watched, pointed and laughed Carrie yelled, “This will never get old!” and I don’t think it will.
Bad days are rough. Struggling is hard. Obstacles can seem unsurmountable, but they are just obstacles and whether you go through or around or over, the other side of them can be pretty awesome. Today we are on the pretty awesome side.
Love, love these videos and so glad you made it through the storm in one piece!
