April 14, 2009 – 49.1 miles – Orient, North Carolina

The weather continues to be the only interesting topic. Solid overcast, rain and rainy mist, in the 50’s. The day went well. The water levels are much more manageable now. The events two days ago were hair raising. We crossed one of the sounds (large body of water) in high winds. The winds create tide conditions that dropped the water level significantly. Frankly, I’m not sure how we made it without grounding. I guess I said that before, but I still can’t believe it. So, today was great.
