We had a major rain storm with wind and lightening the night before our scheduled longest leg on our journey. We were supposed to go about four hours from Knapp’s Narrows to Wharton Creek Marina. Because of some minor boat issues we got off the dock a lot later then we wanted to. But that delay paid off with an uneventful boat ride. The seas were calm the entire trip and got progressively calmer as we ventured north. Our schedule was putting us in to Whart...

We got a later start then we wanted. We had to wait for our repairs from yesterday to get checked off and signed off by the maintenance staff. Add to that we burned up our 100ft 50amp 125/250 cable. Oxford proved expensive. So we took off and headed to Knapp’s Narrows. I called ahead and asked if there were any issues or special instructions since the Narrows often have low water levels. I was told there were no issues and that they were dredged to 9 ft. I...

Our trip today was supposed to start around 10:00am. Unfortunately, we were in a tight spot on the dock with a 9mph wind pinning us to the dock. The boat behind us was not leaving but the one in front was leaving at 1:00pm. Checkout is 11:00am. My phone rang as i prepped the boat and it was the dock master for Herrington Harbor South wanting to know when we were leaving. I explained what was going on and they tracked down the folks in fronts of us who hurried ...

We left Maryland Yacht Club and headed to Herrington Harbor South. The Bay was rough with 2 to 3 foot rollers hitting our Port Stern. That pushed our aft to starboard and bow to port. It was a constant fight to keep PIRASEA on course. The water got a lot rougher as we approached the Annapolis Bridge. But once through there all waters and wind calmed down making a pleasant ride for the second half of the journey. Our course took us fairly close to Thomas Point...

Today we topped off fuel (100 gallons) and left Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor around 8:42am. As we rode the tide up to high tide we crested with the tide pushing us as we passed the sassafras river. We picked up 2 knots as the tide pushed us through calm seas and a light wind. There were VERY few boats out on the Chesepeake today. The trip was uneventful so Caroline and I just got to enjoy a nice boat ride. Our arrival at Maryland Yacht Club was preceded with a ser...
