We left Morehead City, NC at 1:30am on Sunday morning May 17, 2009.
About 2:30am we entered the area called the "Knuckle" off the coast of Cape
Lookout, NC. We were struck by a huge 12 foot wave. Praise the Lord! Our
50 foot EastBay Motor Yacht did not get swamped. Our dinghy was damaged.
About 4 hours later we lost our Port Engine. We were forced to limp into
Cape Hatteras, NC on one engine. This is not an easy task, but our Captain
Phil Smith was up to the task. We secured our vessel in Teach's Marina with many lines because of the
approaching front and the accompanying rain and high winds.
We left Cape Hatteras at 1:00pm. We hired a local driver to take us to the
Norfolk Airport, a 3 hour trip by car. In Norfolk we picked up our rental
car at 4:35pm and began our journey back to Hilton Head Island. At 12:30am
Monday morning we arrived at home.
We give praise, honor, and glory to Jesus for our protection and our
provision during our travels.
