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 leaves anchoring. Key West abounds in anchoring possibilities. However, the holding is uneven and few of the anchorages offer 360 protection. In the wintertime strong cold fronts come ripping through and boats break loose. So choose your anchorage wisely, and never take your eye off of the weather.

Slow Sailing. Nice Sunsets | Ep. 335

Following that screaming gale I spend a week inching along toward Biscayne Bay in little or no wind. Entering into the Bahamas the seas become flat as a lake, and the sunsets are spectacular. Still I wish I was progressing a little faster, especially whe...

Dream it, do a lot of work, then live it | Ep. 334

After a screaming gale I get light airs. Not complaining, although the slow progress does get frustrating after a while. An old Gordon Lightfoot song brings back memories of when I lived in a tiny apartment in Evanston, IL, worked at Arthur Andersen in C...

I am unable to get far enough south to avoid gale conditions ushered in by a passing cold front. No option remains but to reef down and ride it out. SUPPORT HOW TO SAIL OCEANS ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/user?u=12372934 HOW TO SAIL OCEANS ON RUMBLE...

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...
