This is the story of our sailing adventures aboard Epicurus, a 62-foot Deerfoot sailing vessel. We are the Brown family--Peter, Sherri, Katya and Matthew. (You can click on the photos to enlarge them. Most posts are by Sherri, not Peter.)

Safely docked in Rudee Inlet

We made it safely today out from Willoughby Bay to Rudee Inlet. The winds were strong from the south. We saw one gust to 40kts but most of the time it was between 20 and 30 kts. The wind was just enough offshore that the waves weren't bad but we motor sailed close to the shore from Cape Henry to Virginia Beach. As we were anchoring a nice old gentleman motioned us over to his dock and invited us to tie up for the night as he said the holding was poor due to thick mud so here we are safe. He's lent us his car so the others have gone to the local supermarket for more provisions.

If this works then maybe the radio is fixed.
