Oriental to South Carolina

Hi it's Danielle! I'm doing the blog today!

At anchor in Cape Lookout. It was warm out!
The water was pretty. It was like Georgian Bay.
We saw lots of dolphins that were swimming really close to the boat and a HUGE sea turtle!
It was really nice there until the gale blew through. The wind was blowing 30-35 knots gusting up to 42 knots! A lot stronger than what the forecast said!




Treasure hunting boat docked beside us at Russ Russel's boat yard. They hunt for old ship wrecks many of which are near Shackleford Island(beside Cape Lookout) where the residents lit fires to look like the lighthouse and lure ships onto the shoals so they could use the wood for their houses and take the cargo. The treasure hunters recently may have found the site of a shipwrecked Spanish Galleon which sank with 300 million dollars of gold.


Wild horses that still live on Shackleford Island (no one lives there anymore) they
were from shipwrecked boats 300 years ago.
