Today brings to Topsail Beach. We took some time to sort out a problem with the waterheater. Turns out we have to motor at a higher RPM to get the engine water to flow through the waterheater. This gives us a little more speed and uses a lot more fuel. But running out of hot water in the middle of a shower is no fun. Today was another sunny crisp day on the waterway with north winds behind us most of the time. We really lucked out with the currents today and saw speeds between 6.5 and 7.5 nautical miles per hour most of the time. Lots of fish are being caught in the inlets we pass. Tonight we feast on steak and a nice pinot noir.
