More thunderstorms overnight, heavy rains. Sail off anchor 6:40 with a cool north wind and clear skies. Making 2.6 out of Cedar Creek. I sail into the glare of the rising sun.
7:00 on calm water in Mouse Harbor, tacking towards Pamlico Point and the Pamlico River. Maybe I'll sail west to Little Washington. 8:10 tacking around Pamlico Point, 3.3 out on the river. Somehow my sleeping bag had gotten wet overnight, I spread it out to dry. 8:45 light wind, 1.6. 9:30 no wind. 9:55 a little breeze then none at all.
10:35 under power. 11:00 a nice wind arrives, full sail. Tack at 11:30. At noon the wind disappears. I check the forecast, little wind today, unseasonable hot the next two days. Frustrated. Storms, gusts, rain, lightning and now summer-like heat in May.
Under power I turn towards North Creek. 2:00 around Chambers Point and we turn towards the East Fork. Anchor down 2:25. I set up the boom tent for shade. I'll head in tomorrow.
21.45 nautical miles
