Spooner Creek Marina to Topsail Sound Anchorage

It was a cloudy day and lightly rained a few times during the day.  The wind was perfect for a broad reach most of the morning.  So, we let the genoa out some and achieved a top speed of 7.4 knots.

We got through our “trouble spots” without any trouble due to good water depths and good local knowledge passed on by our SAIL Rally leaders.  We saw several dolphin early in the trip.  We arrived at both bridge openings at the proper time to permit an orderly passage without much delay.  Topsail Sound had plenty of water and room for us to anchor.  Overall, it would have been a perfect day had the sun shone.
