Departure: Cape Lookout Bight Anchorage (N34°37.566′ W76°32.667′) (Carteret County, NC) 10:30AM

Special Comments:

• Well, I slept like a baby even though Jacques does not. He was up at 3AM checking on things in the pilothouse.
• By the time we were sipping our morning coffee the locals were out claiming their favorite fishing spots. Upon our departure a fellow was proudly displaying his 15″ fish.
• Gosh, there’s no shortage of jellyfish at anchorage.
• Nice short cruise.
• Fantastic to have leftovers for lunch, panchetta spaghetti and fresh Caesar salad.
• WOWser, it’s H-O-T outside, 88°F. Appears a cold front is pushing through and may keep us here until Tuesday, 10/20/26 or Wednesday, 10/21/26. Currently, booked until Monday, 10/19/26.
• Jacques is giving our salty girl a well deserved bath.
• Charcuterie board for dinner.
• Early night to bed. That extra 10 hours kicked our butts.
