Near the end of the leg today, the wind shifted 90 degrees and we had to sail the last miles dead upwind. It took us one hour and 30 minutes to cover that last little bit. The leaders missed this wind shift and thus got in much earlier. Tomorrow, we go back to day legs. We sail to Wrightsville Beach going over Cape Fear on the way.
Forecast looks good.
We only have five days left, however, the roughest part is still ahead of us. The outer banks of North Carolina can be extremely difficult. Mike Worrell said that he put in an order for nice weather. Let's see if the winds gods were listening.
