5 November 2016 – Coinjock<\/p>\n

\"p1030069\"We woke up to a very calm morning, and actually left the dock 2 hours before our scheduled departure to take advantage of the calm.<\/p>\n

Meandering down the North River we enjoyed a quiet morning as the winds began to pick up.<\/p>\n

After leaving the river and entering the sound we unfurled the staysail (the middle foresail) to motorsail and pick up a half knot of speed with the wind from our stern.<\/p>\n

\"p1030070\"One of the reasons we really didn’t want to travel yesterday with the wind was because we were going to be crossing the Albermarle Sound which is a big, wide, long but shallow sound usually around 15 feet of depth. \u00a0Big wind can create big uncomfortably choppy waves in this sound.
\nToday the wind grew and became a following wind of 10 – 15 mph with occasional gusts of 20 mph. \u00a0This did indeed cause the water to be choppy and sloppy, creating alot of rolling and pitching motion on the boat.<\/p>\n

It was a clear and sunny day\u00a0and to be honest we really didn’t have much to complain about.<\/p>\n
