Hello from the Chesapeake Bay and the Concrete Fleet!
I've spent the last ten days or so TRYING to get from Cape Cod to NC...
but the winds have NOT cooperated. When they are not blowing the wrong way or too gently, they are far too strong. Right now we have what appears to be a sub-hurricane sitting on the Outer Banks of NC, blowing at 30kts plus... and with loads of big waves and lightning... (Anything not green is not fun for sailing)
so I turned tail and headed into the shelter of the concrete fleet, scuttled here to create a protected harbor. Apparently this used to be a ferry terminal, abandoned when the bridge was put in. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/kiptopeke-s-concrete-fleet
What a relief it was last night to be able to watch the final bit of the sunset from the security of a good anchorage!
Beautiful to be alive and safe!
ReplyDeleteThat is what this picture expresses.
Amen! While the anchorage did NOT work as hoped, I came through with minimal damage. And more great memories!
