The wind was coming from the wrong direction, the seas were rougher than we'd preferred, and regardless we set out for our first overnight in the ocean. Leaving St. Augustine at approximately 1:00pm on Dec 27, we headed out the inlet, into the ocean, where we would spend the next 24 hours. Going directly into the wind did not lend itself to much actually sailing, the rough water sloshed and churned us up a bit, and we took turns sleeping throughout the night. The next afternoon, we were quite happy to pull into the channel at Cape Canaveral with calm water around us once again. Our 24 hour voyage allowed us to skip 3 days of winding, narrow, shallow water of the intercoastal.
