The Caribbean for Christmas, Part 1 | Ep. 194
Putting to sea at last! After more than a month of making preparations, poring over weather files, fretting and pacing, the anchor is up and the little ship is making her way out of the Chesapeake Bay. Brisk northerlies greet us outside, becoming moderate NE as we enter the Gulf Stream the following day. Light airs and headwinds nearly stall progress for a day while the swift current sets us off to the northeast. I am apprehensive lest we fail to exit the stream before a fast approaching cold front hits.

The Many Challenges of Engineless Sailing | Ep. 304
It's a windward slog to clear Cape Lookout Shoals, which will be rewarded with a fast run around Cape Hatteras and on to the Chesapeake Bay. Arriving at night, I anchor outside of Jackson Creek for some rest and because I require good visibility (and a f...
Light winds, narrow channels, strong currents, no engine … | Ep. 303
I exit the Gulf Stream which has carried me nearly 600 miles. Continuing on around Hatteras is not in the cards just now with a cold front approaching, so I will put in to Beaufort, NC. The good news is that the approaching front brings increasing south...
Gentle on my Anemometer | Ep. 302
OK, I don't have an anemometer. I just liked the word play in the title when it makes you think of the country song "Gentle on my Mind". Actually this passage started off blustery, but a few days into it and the Gulf Stream went flat, the breezes warm a...
The American Inquisition | Ep. 301
I am boarded by Customs and Border Patrol. They crash into me and damage the boat. After checking my documents and rifling through my things, they leave. Good riddance! Soon after I'm contending with a nasty squall. I finally make it into Biscayne B...
Sailboats are No Respecters of Schedules | Ep. 300
Three hundred episodes of HtSO! I am northbound from the Florida Keys, but the wind is playing cat and mouse with me. After poring over weather files for weeks and one false start, I finally find fair wind to Biscayne, but only make it to Rodriguez Key. ...
The Spring Sailing Seesaw | Ep. 299
Summer is coming, but winter ain't done. I depart Key West with a warm, gentle, southerly breeze to blow me northeastward toward the Chesapeake Bay. But then I have to hole up in Newfound Harbor for two weeks while cold fronts howl and headwinds persist...
