(Because of helpful current, the paddlewheel impeller tripmeter read about 40 miles less than that!)<p>After lunch (mm, lunch!) we took a nap (mm, nap!) and now we are all alert and awake, just in time for...dinner and bedtime. But tomorrow we will explore the Cape Lookout National Seashore. It looks like a neat place; there are a dozen or so other boats anchored here, behind the thin hook of barrier island that forms Cape Lookout.S/V Windomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09371242773814115408noreply@blogger.com
