Wrightsville to Morehead City

Trip dates: 
Sunday, March 29, 2020
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail

We left the Wrightsville Beach anchorage at 6:55 am as the sun was just rising.  Masonboro Inlet was short and easy.  We partly sailed and motorsailed at about 82 degrees with 4-5 foot seas and SW winds.  The wind was 15 knots but a bit light to move us fast enough.  We entered multiple fog banks during the trip and arrived at Beaufort Inlet at 2:35 pm

Unfortunately, the wind was blowing in and the tide was rushing out, so we had a rough ride through the inlet.  We arrived at Morehead City Yacht Basin by 4 pm.
