Cape Hatteras

13:15 E.T. 5/6/09 12 miles from Cape Hatteras. Southerly winds with waves on the beam. Trying to sail as comfortably as possible with Boom Preventer on main and keeping genoa full with Tessa rolling. Plan to sail on outside of Outer Banks with possible stop in Portsmouth VA depending on conditions. May decide to sail straight to Cape May for provisions on Friday. Hudson Bay arrival by this weekend.
