Manual Navigation Challenge Log 2

Local Time: 0600
Location: Albermarle Sound, North Carolina.
Boat: Lady Raediel.

Current course (all legs)

90.53 ° N35°58.727'-W75°46.442'

Weather is fine, clear skies.
Seas are calm, low swell.
Wind is  SSW at 13kts.

A delay cost a full day and night, spending the time anchored of Durant Island.
Cause was a small interaction with a sandbar. Not an auspicious start to the journey to be sure.
Lady Raediel is free again now and is heading once again due East, before she can turn south and head for the passage back out to the Atlantic, before her north bound turn for Chesapeake Bay.

No other issues to report,

Local Authorities most helpful in extracting LR from the muck, many thanks to them.

Making 7.6kts on reach, will stay this way for about an hour, then should be able to see Roanoke Island as my guide south.
