The crew of SV Delos sails 220 miles from Little Creek, Virginia, to Beaufort, North Carolina, to round Cape Hatteras.1:29 Known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic, the area features shifting sandbars at Diamond Shoals and volatile currents where the Gulf Stream meets the Labrador Current.1:54 The crew maintains an average speed of 8 to 9 knots with winds on the beam, though they encounter 28-knot gusts and a 2.3-knot adverse tide while entering the Beaufort inlet.13:53 During the passage, a Navy Seahawk helicopter performs a low-altitude flyby for the crew.3:13 The transit follows a previous, more difficult northward passage where the vessel suffered storm damage and a blown jib.10:23 After successfully navigating the cape, the crew anchors in Beaufort to wait for a weather window before continuing toward Charleston, South Carolina.16:05 Careful monitoring of the Gulf Stream temperature and wind-against-current conditions remains critical for safe passage around the shoals.9:48
