news I'll download the Florida charts since I'll be there soon looking at boats. Wait til next Spring when they're all staring at a week to take it back to Yankeeland at $5/gallon and 3 gallons per mile. There's bound to be lots of really nice boats for sale they can't afford to leave in FL at those awful marina rates...(c; Larry -- |

Does Chesapeake Bay present a special challenge for a boat of his draft? It may be he wanted a good sail without those concerns. Not knowing these routes and I'm all ears. No, there's no real challenge, except that there's a constant flow of water south and he's running in or near a current running north, which can make a big difference in distance made. Weather would be similar inside or out, and as others have said, the Delaware Bay passage is often no picnic. MY problem is that I listened to the weather Sunday, and the offshore forecast was for small craft advisories and lots of rain -- which we've had ever since. A front has been sitting at about the VA/DE border with lows running down it. Even up here near Philly, we've been getting monsoons. He has the advantage of a fairly heavy boat that likes heavy air, at least better than our cork, but he should have realized they were going into known sloppy conditions, and Linda shouldn't have been so optimistic, not taking meds beforehand. Personally, this week was one to take the slower inside route where they had the advantage of a multitude of "plan B" anchorages in fairly easy reach. I expect they'll make it, perhaps have made it already, but that was a "yeah, we done it" sort of passage. Skip, please stop rushing. -- Jere Lull Tanzer 28 #4 out of Tolchester, MD Xan's new pages: http://web.mac.com/jerelull/iWeb/Xan/ Our BVI pages: http://homepage.mac.com/jerelull/BVI/ |
