Left out of Wrightsville Beach almost 2 hours before sunrise. Hit some heavy seas in the 330 Express. Heard some charter guys in go fast center consoles talk on VHF about only being able to hit 23mph. We were rolling at 28mph, though with, admittedly, an occasional backless wave that resulted in a good hull-slap. Got to the Stream 60 miles later and fished some very unsettled seas when...bam!...long rigger goes off like a bomb. Eight years of fishing and finally! My first sail. Neptune complied, and the seas laid down for a great ride home. A day that will be long remembered!
