E13 Under Way Sailing the Chesapeake, Lagoon 420 Good Life. Bahamas Express
We spent a few days in Georgetown, checking all of the fluids and filters, nav controls and instruments, helm and autohelm, electrical systems and the new anchor chain.
The first leg was from our mooring at Sassafras Harbor marina near Galena on the Sassafras River, to the Magothy River on the far side of the Chesapeake Bay
It was rainy and windy when when we ran the 25 miles or so from the Georgetown Yacht basin to Magothy River Sanctuary, where we anchored in a little shelter near the Fairview Marina. We would need to go ashore briefly to pick up watermaker filters from a local hardware store, and we still needed to work on the dinghy motor since it still wasn’t running well.
I made the run to Ace Hardware to pick up the filters. It was my first ever UBER run! It was also the only time I had to use my own GPS to get the driver back to the marina
so with Lisa holding down the fort at home, Captain Mark, Bernard, Brian and I continued down the Chesapeake Bay. Headed south to the open ocean. Brian and I were given our helm and chartplotter lessons. We ran our first overnight shifts on our way to Virgina Beach
Our opening and closing song is Who We Are by Miah

SDA259 New Fear Unlocked
We had no idea a bull shark might actually bite a moving dinghy until one did it right beside the anchorage we were heading for. We stop at Staniel Cay to top up the fuel, where we spend about an hour waiting for a centre console to take on roughly 600 gallons. Then a big catamaran heads in ahead o...
SDA258 Blown Out of Another Anchorage
At sunrise in Black Point, the sun came up beneath a heavy shelf of cloud while storm cells rolled in through sheets of rain. We start at Big Farmers Cay with dinner at Ocean Cabin on neighbouring Farmers Cay before weighing anchor and heading north to Black Point Settlement ahead of another wind c...
SDA257 Shark Patrol
Every time we walk down this beach, the same blacktip reef shark is making another pass through the shallows. We spend a few days anchored at Big Farmers Cay, exploring beaches where the water is so clear it looks like an aquarium. Turtles, trumpetfish, barracuda and sharks move through the shallow...
