The weather for Saturday and Sunday was forecast to be good for sailing, so Joe and I took Eureka out for its first sail of the year.
On Saturday, we had a good, stiff Southwesterly breeze fo 15-22 knots and had a great sail in 6-8 foot seas to Cape Lookout.
Nearing the Cape, we ran into the largest concentration of birds that we had ever seen. There were thousands of birds congregated on the water.
Saturday evening, we were treated to a beautiful moonrise over the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
And a beautiful sunset.
Overnight, the winds shifted to the Northeast and we had a great sail in 10-15 knots back to port.
A great start to 2012!!
