From Oriental, we zipped across the Neuss early in the a.m. (8 o’clock) while the winds were calm.  We anchored in Adams Creek for awhile to get done the things we didn’t do yesterday (some interior cleaning) and around 11a.m. lifted Knute and…

Greetings from North Carolina!   Oriental, that is.  Where YOUNG AMERICA has languished for nearly 7 weeks while we did what we do while in New York.
