Wow. You and rough weather. You did great, as I sit in my recliner lol. Glad you had an easy repair. Fun to see West Point, knowing I had been right there. Another great video .
I love hearing stories about people making large transits that eventually take them down through the Chesapeake. However the timing is always such that videos go up way after they have been there already. I have always just wanted to "help" someone find a nice spot to stay for a bit, help them provision, and just hear about their journey. My bet is you are either there already or close. Hope you have a great experience down the Chessie, it's a great body of water that unfortunately you will only just pass through. Fair winds from a fellow Cheesehead. SV Independence.
You are in luck! We have been hanging out in the Long Island Sound and won’t be to the Chesapeake until next month sometime so we will take all your tips! Is there anywhere we could stay for a few days with reasonable access to an airport? I am trying to do shorts on TH-cam that keep people realtime up to date on our location since the videos are a couple weeks behind. Thank you for watching.
@@SailingOnward I am going to assume "commercial" airport access. BWI is pretty close to the Bay, and there are 3 marinas you could stay at that I believe have deep enough water. Now I say deep enough, assuming you aren't drawing 6+. The Chesapeake is rather shallow on and around the shores! Nabbs Creek Marina, Maryland Yacht Club, and Fairview Marina are all relatively close and def UBER'able. All can be seen on Dockwa for pricing and amenities and of course ratings. There are others, but you would need to do some hunting around. If you just need a municipal airport, check out offerings on "Middle River" which actually partially straddles Martin State Airport, which is a fine place to land, having do so with friends many time. (with a military escort once, its a great story!) Some of the marinas are closer to that facility than others and depth does matter further in. Maryland Marina is a great option, they are nestled in one of the creeks with easy access to the airport. Not walkable but a 5 min UBER ride. There are HUNDREDS of other marinas on the Western Shore that could possible work, but since I have been in place @ Maryland Marina for 30 years I don't get out much locally.
At that point we were going less than one knot so we had to just emergency grab anything we could to wait out the wind and currents. Thanks for watching.
@@SailingOnward - Originally from the NYC area and now many years in Madison. While you were in Troy, NY and fighting your engine concerns, I was literally a few miles away from you in Saratoga Springs, NY. And where you probably anchored by Ellis Island, if I was still in my NY office, I would be able see you from my office windows. I used to sail NY Harbor during the week and on the LI Sound on weekends. Grew up sailing and boating all around that area all the way out to the east end of Long Island and the Great South Bay. You are living the dream. Be safe. Be patient. Enjoy every minute of it. You are very fortunate to be able to live this lifestyle.
@@SailingOnward - Oh. So many. What people fail to realize is the size of the area. Once through Hell's Gate and under the Throgs Neck Bridge, it's a very long coastline to the north along Westchester NY, Connecticut, and Rhode Island and to the south 120 or so miles of Long Island. Lots of very cool history on both side. Do you have a way for me to contact you electronically that you can share -- via some social app, etc. I can write a novel here.
❤thanks for the episode
So cool - love all the different birds you saw! ❤
It was so cool!!!
❤❤❤❤
Awesome trip thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for joining us!
Love seeing all the sights. And your videos are looking really good!
Glad you are enjoying them. ❤

We should have listened to the guy that told us to wait out the storm. We just don’t like to sit still for very long. 😂😂😂

just saw this vid. You took that mooring at Marlboror YC ...3 miles south was my yacht club (Chelsea Yacht Club) we have free guest moorings...

Poughkeepsie - pronounce it “Pohkipsy.” Sail safely. Keep living the dream. Go Badgers!
We are doing our best! Are you from Wisconsin?

@@xnyrage It’s a small world after all. We are currently spending time in the LI Sound. Any recommendations?
