Thursday, May 10, and we are off for Virginia. We end up having to tack out of the Old Florida Channel to reach open waters. The winds stubbornly remain east to northeast, pushing us westward until we close the coast around Lake Worth the following morning. Then the winds fall light. We tack back out into the Gulf Stream and mostly drift with the current for the next few days, which is conveniently taking us where we want to go.

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

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...
