Last night's slip at Dudley's, in Swansboro, NC, was plagued by both current and wakes. It took six lines to keep Nellie from banging up against the dock or the surrounding pilings. This morning my single-handed departure went flawlessly, until a still-secured bow line went taught. So much for 83% (5/6) being a passing grade. I can see this solo cruising is going to take some practice.
58nm in 9-3/4 hours bringing the total miles thus far to 367nm. DBH
