From Calm to Chaos: 45-Knot Storm Hits as We Head to Chesapeake! / Sailing Aquarius Ep. 226
We made a bold decision to skip the typical coastal stops and sail straight to the Chesapeake Bay—two overnight passages, hundreds of miles, and one unforgettable storm later... things didn’t exactly go as planned. 🌩️
In this episode, we leave Georgetown, South Carolina, aiming for better anchorages and sailing conditions. But Mother Nature had other plans—within seconds, the wind jumps from 19 to 45 knots, catching us off guard with full sails up. From managing muddy chains to dodging wrecks and navigating rivers with currents, we share our unfiltered experience of what it’s really like sailing the US East Coast with a 6.5 ft draft.
We also run into old cruising friends, spot mysterious flares at sea, and discuss why we upgraded our Starlink plan on the go (spoiler: safety first). If you’ve ever wondered what a storm surge really feels like offshore—this is the one to watch.
📍Route: Georgetown → Cape Hatteras → Chesapeake Bay
🌀 Conditions: Thunderstorms, river currents, tight anchorages
💬 Featuring: Real-time decisions, gear management, and lessons from the frontlines of bluewater cruising

Sailing Aquarius Around The World
We are couple sailing around the world on our AMEL Super Maramu 2000 called Aquarius. We climbed career ladders, and enjoyed living in Southern California and we always loved traveling. One conversation during the dinner take a year off and go travel started shaping up. Without much of previous sailing experienced we decided to buy a boat and sail around the world, which we started in Caribbean in the beginning of 2017, and still sailing, hoping to circumnavigate the world!
