May 1 - Surf City, North Carolina.
Our beautiful morning motorsailing up the Cape Fear River morphed into a rainy afternoon before the sun peered out for a nice evening at anchor. Note that Kelly IV was the subject of a local drone.
We got a video of the drone which was taking a video of us!Click here for the video we took of the drone.

May 2 - New River Inlet. We passed this operation towing well over 500 feet of large, long pipes. There was a large towboat which you see pulling the pipes, along with 2 small towboats that were keeping the pipes in line.
Great sail for the entire length of Bogue Sound, north of Emerald Isle, NC! 15+ knots of breeze for the entire sound.
