Sounds a lot like you're making this all up, though the possibility you were
changing your pants is looking stronger.

You had two GPS's on board and you were lost?

Jax is referring to Diamond Shoals which are easily avoided in good weather
by
going outside of the lighthouse. There are no rocks in the area.


two things. a.) the markers are there to mark things you can hit, and b.) I
remember many, many more lights for two or three or four or more hours while
we
were going through at night. I remember at one point we were within 20
seconds
of turning around because we couldn't see the next light, when I saw it,
followed by maybe 10 seconds later by the owner, who was a career merchant
marine and had a couple decades racing offshore.

jeffies, if you don't think there weren't things to hit and break up a boat
there, certainly the owner of the boat did. And avoiding the Gulf Stream to
the east was the reason we were in so close.

jeffies, guys in training wheels don't normally even think of rounding
Hatteras, predictions of a flat calm or not.
