The passage to the Chesapeake should take just over 4 days, subject to winds and the ever present Gulf Stream current. We'll clear in to the USA in Norfolk, and then head up to Reedville in Virginia for a break.

Obviously, your post is a year old ... hopefully your trip was pleasant and "unremarkable". We're planning on making same trip (sailing from Boat Harbour, in Marsh Harbour) to Annapolis, in about 6 weeks. My first off-shore experience, other than sailing our boat from Ft. Lauderdale to Abacos this past December. Looking forward to the experience, albeit a little anxious. My husband and I have been sailing for over 10 years, but like I said ... I'm reading everything I can get my hands on r/t navigation, weather, etc. Any other advice??
ReplyDeleteYes our trip was "unremarkable", the best sort of passage. The Gulf Stream was a fabulous ride north, make sure you don't have any head winds on the way as it makes for a very lumpy and uncomfortable passage. Listen to Chris Parker's weather reports, he is very knowledgeable on the Gulf Stream.
