Slipped lines at 08:00 and edged out of a calm marina - accompanied by 3 Naval marine vessels along the channel towards the open railway brdige (closed after 09:00 for repairs). Motor out Morehead City Channel to the open sea - at last! Fresh south westerly 15-17 kn wind and 4-5 ft waves - a little more than the GRIB file predicted! Set sail for Souhport charting Cape Fear well out to sea. Dolphins keeping watch over us! Settled into watch routine and enjoyed the afternoon evening with a light supper. Dramatic sunset as night falls and we make a good 6-7 knots south east toward the Cape.....
