A long weekend with Mark







I was lucky enough to get my son Mark to spend 4 days with me on Sea Breeze while in the Pamlico River. We travelled much of the same territory as Diane & I did with Dana a year ago. Although the anchorage locations on the map don't look like we went very far, we actually covered about 120 nautical miles in 3 1/2 days of sailing. Wind conditions were perfect - 10 to 20 knots from the south which gave us calm seas in the east-west running river. We returned to my favorite spot, Bath, NC for lunch and ice cream and got knocked flat by a thunderstorm. Not much lightning but plenty of wind and rain. We all needed a shower anyway; especially Sea Breeze.
