Fireworks at West End, Grand Bahama on July Fourth. |

Just out into the Gulf Stream, the GPS showed the power of the
current...While I'd say Circe was only sailing along at about
four knots, the GPS showed 7.9 - four knots of current, at the
axis! |

One of the many freighters heading south, as it approaches... |
 |
...and then only two or three minutes later as it
passes...this is what I'd call a close call! |
 |
When the wind dropped to almost nothing, I finally got a
chance to set the spinnaker. This is the first time it had
been flown in four years of sailing Circe! |
 |
Approaching Cape Hatteras, the seas were very squirrelly,
mostly flat, with surges of swells and gusts of wind.
Circe would surf up and down the swells, creating huge bow
wakes, which a pod of about ten dolphins were riding and playing
all around the boat. |

Circe anchored off the Naval Academy in Annapolis - she's the
one just above the left side of the bench. Not the big
one, the smaller one! |
