Nov. 1, Thursday

Evening report:

ROB AT MASTHEAD.

Rob went to the masthead to replace gear taken down in order to clear Wilkerson. Overnight in Oriental, NC. Tomorrow, heading to Beaufort and offshore again. OK, just posted his photo on Friday afternoon.


Cleared the Wilkerson Bridge at 10:20 a.m.:
All fixed bridges on the ICW were built with a clearance of 65 ft. A good plan, except that this bridge did not end up at spec. Its clearance is only 64 ft. and always a concern for high masted sailboats like Moonbeam.

Capt. and crew shouted "YEAH" when the boat cleared safely through.
