Cape Fear to Cape Canaveral

Escaping the inland waterway. So taking the advantageous easterly we propelled ourselves down the coast at a great rate of knots, running the gauntlet of the slue of the frying pan shoals and over the subsequent days running before the high pressure, dodging thunderstorms and trying to keep ahead of the high pressure systems that were coming across our latitude. In the main we were successful occasionally blighted by no wind,  but keeping clear of the doldrums. So finally near C. Canaveral, we can see the machinery of the US space race. Bypassing the Chester shoals, but sticking close to avoid the northerly gulf stream, we head straight down to Fort Lauderdale within 10-20 NM off the coast on this single easterly tack. 150 NM from freebooters Caribbean takeoff point.
