Big ships, fickle winds, arriving at night--Miami to Virginia, Part Three
With light winds after midnight and into the morning of May 16 go our hopes for a late day arrival. Moderate winds out of the south develop in the afternoon to help us on our way but also bring in showery weather. We enter the Thimble Shoal Channel around midnight, and are finally anchor down in Hampton at 0430, May 17.

Kevin’s Unofficial Anchoring Guide to Key West | Ep. 296
Party! Key West is a fun town, lots to do and see. It's a "big port". There are several large marinas if you are visiting by yacht, but they might not suit your budget, or if you are engineless like me, they are nearly impossible to get to. Which leav...
Mast Repair (from a bosun’s chair) | Ep. 295
I make my way to "winter base camp", which is Newfound Harbor, in the Florida Keys. There I find a decently protected anchorage and access to supplies, so I can rest for a while. Rest? Of course not. I just won't be sailing so that I can catch up on boa...

A Day in the Abacos | Ep. 292
I drop anchor in the bight by Treasure Island Cay to ride out a frontal passage. Brisk northwesterlies soon moderate the following day and I carry on with my journey. I don't head directly back out to sea, however, opting to take the scenic route throug...
