Passing Cape Hateras

Just a quick update Tuesday evening at 1900 hrs - we are just approaching Cape Hatteras and Diamond Shoals.

Position
Latitude: 35 00 North
Longitude: 75 16

We continue to Keep an eye on TS Beryl - she is supopsed to revisit our path to Cape May late on Wednesday (we hope to be ahead of it). Today we had a good sized squall overtake us and dump a lot of rain in a short period of time. Rather than cower below we all went out into the cockpit in our bathing suits and got good freshwater showers ! So the crew is looking (and smelling) much better. Now that we've been out at sea for four days, everyone is getting acclimated to the constant pitching and rolling, so the seasickness has gone away and everyone had a big dinner (tortellin marinara, with Chcken patties and carrots.) Kate says we are eating like Kindergartners .. chicken fingers, mac 'n cheese, baby carrots, grapes & crackers. Hey as long as everyone has an appetite, I'm happy.

We may get cell signal somethim in the next 6 hours, so you may get a quick text or email if we do.
