We left bright and early at 7:00 am on June 19, 1999 from West Palm Beach, FL

	The Crew (L to R): Norm, Mike, Ruth, Will, Bryan and Sandra
The second day out we found an abandoned boat. We contacted the F/V Fried Conch in Key West, FL who acted as relay to the Coast Guard for us to verify that the survivors had been taken off the boat the day before.
Bryan suffering from sea sickness decided to brave the elements rather than go inside and face the consequences!
	The morning after the big storm, the seas were still a little choppy.
	It's amazing what a little chop, can do to items not properly stored!
	Due to the shifting sands at Ocracoke Inlet, the Coast Guard offered an escort in an out of Ocracoke Inlet.
