Jump Outside

The alarm went off at 4:30am...pretty dark! Coffee was made and Rylee got one last walk in the park.  Conditions were right so lines were cast off and Makai was out of the slip at 5:00am and heading to the Beufort Inlet for an outside (Atlantic waters) ride down to Wrightsville Beach. We opted to go outside to avoid the shallows of the waterway (Swansboro) and delays at the seven bridges. Winds were out of the Northeast and the waters were calm with only less then 1 foot seas.  We were under full sail and enjoying the ride. The afternoon winds changed and the seas grew to 4 to 5 foot. Thank goodness I gave Rylee a sedative as he gets very anxious when it is a rough ride!  Makai, Capt. Ed and myself handled the conditions well and were at anchor in Wrightsville Beach at 4:30pm where we will stay for a day or so.
