We left Bald Head Island and took the short cut to Wrightsville Beach. We sailed up the Intracoastal Water Way. That made our trip only about 25 nautical miles instead of 70 miles, due to the reefs that extend out 20 miles into the ocean. There was only a one mile long narrow spot with very shallow waters on both sides that we had to slow down for. We did not go aground!
The weather today is predicted to be severe with high winds, so we are staying in Wrightsville Beach for the day. Tomorrow is supposed to be much nicer. We plan to go to Cape Lookout tomorrow. Winds are up to 23 knots right now. Gusts are predicted to be up to 35 knots.
