Good Passage to Beaufort, NC

We left our boats home in Windmill Harbour in Hilton Head on Wednesday, June 01 about 2:30 pm. We entered the Atlantic Ocean at about 5:30 into a 2-3 ft sea running with a 15 kt wind from the SE. Our sails were set on the quarter and we started our 300 mi passage to Beaufort, NC.

We had a good sail with pretty consistent winds for about 30 hrs. The wind began to clock a bit and we sailed wing on wing with preventer into Beaufort. We arrived in Beaufort at about 1:30 pm on Friday, June 03.

We spent the night at Homer Smith docks exploring the town and having a nice meal at the Rhumbar on Front Street.
