November 13, 2000 -- Wrightsville Beach Bound

Today, we went from Lookout Bight to Wrightsville beach. We left Cape Lookout at 1115 GMT (6:15 AM EST) in variable winds and calm seas. Within an hour, the wind stabilized out of the WNW and we were able to put our sails out. At 1232 GMT, as is customary, Mike made his Flipper call, and surprisingly, dolphins showed up three minutes later! By 1500 GMT, the wind was directly on our nose, so we no longer received a boost. But, fortunately, it kept backing until it was out of the SW and we again put our sails out! At 1905 GMT, we saw an enormous jelly fish. It must have been 2 feet across! We anchored at 2022 GMT. As we were putting our dinghy down, Ron on Wonya pulled into the anchorage. He is the netmanager for the Cruisehiemer's net. After everyone had settled in, we invited Ron to join us for Pizza. Ron and I headed in to get the Pizza, then returned for an evening of fun, food and talk
