I arrive in the Berry Islands following an overnight passage from Eleuthera. I drop anchor behind Little Harbor Cay, a beautiful spot, but rather unprotected from the forecasted brisk westerly winds. So I sail around to the anchorage between Devils Cay and Hoffmans Cay, which offers better shelter. This turns out to be quite a challenging day for the engineless sailor.

A Race Against Time | Ep. 332
The usual late fall offshore passage scenario. You depart the US east coast on the tail of a cold front, which supplies you with favorable northerly winds. But there's always another front moving through in a few days' time. The typical strategy is to s...
Here We Go | Ep. 331
No offshore weather window will be perfect. So long as the forecast calls for mostly fair winds and no severe weather, that's a window. And so it is. Well almost. I have to move south fast in order to avoid a rather strong frontal passage four days out...
Cruising the Corrotoman, looking for Southbound Weather | Ep. 330
Despite the light and fickle winds I work my way up the Corrotoman River to a place called Sandy Point, where I am detained for several days on account of inclement weather. It is October after all. With the standard southbound departure date of Novembe...
Yes, but can you sail into Jackson Creek at night? | Ep. 329
A forecasted gale obliges me to put in to Put-in-Creek, on the East River of Mobjack Bay. It is still too early to head south, and October is a great month for cruising the Chesapeake, so the choice is clear. Owing to light winds I don't make Jackson Cre...
Things Wondrous Strange, and then Windmills | Ep. 328
In this episode we pick up where we last left off--in the middle of the ocean, approximately halfway between Buzzards Bay and the Chesapeake Bay, drifting with no wind. Light conditions persist for the next 36 hours until some solid southerlies finally sh...
Catspaws | Ep. 327
After a swift departure from Buzzards Bay, MA, I am beset with several days of light and variable winds. I sometimes play the catspaws for a few miles, otherwise get back to my book. Or guitar. Or video editing. I'm rarely bored at sea, regardless of t...
