Harker's Island Museum Ancorage
Below is a map of a possible route.
Day 1 Harkers Island to Long Point Camp 25 miles
Day 2 Long Point to Ocracoke(silver Lake) 25 miles
Day 3 Ocracoke to Racoon Island 27 miles
Day 4 Racoon Island to Grand Island Camp 36 miles
Day 5 Grand Island to Cape Lookout 16 miles
( Two possibilities here. After this short leg, we could have the closing ceremonies/awards and a nice long day in a beautiful place. Then in the afternoon continue to Harkers, another 18 miles by way of the Atlantic side of Shackleford through the Beaufort Channel.
Or we could stay the night in this great ancorage and have a short sail on Saturday AM to Harkers to load up and leave. Makes it 6 days...)
