Back In The Saddle

"If something could happen, Offshore usually where it happens." This seems true … is the constant movement sea in his boat. Of course, I've been several times at sea, which was flat and I mean flat … He had to do many motorists with sailboat. From Port Everglades inlet (Fort Lauderdale) in Beaufort, North Carolina. There was not even a wrinkle in that the eye could see. We swim out of the boat and around …. It was fun until someone told to see sharks. Then everything was done by the stairs … That means four people claim the stern. On another occasion was a race of Bermuda Montauk to Bermuda in early June Enough for the wind to 150% Genoa and main scope to engage fully in a sharp turn. Simply beautiful and has been a period of four and a distance of half a day. Even the Gulf Stream crossing was uneventful. Seeing the beautiful deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream has been memorizing … I think that is the color can not be put on paper, everyone around you seems be endless this color and the unreal. We crawled along a thermometer to see if there would be no change in temperature. I would be heard and to our surprise was that, since the mid-60 to 80 degrees. What a world. The maintenance of the Gulf Stream this heat all the way from Florida and beyond. Here we are in the north and keeps the temperature such …. That's incredible.

Now, I'm I have been saying some nasty things in too. The worst was …. You're right …. In the north of the Gulf Stream from Florida to Beaufort, North Carolina again. This time, for two days and a half, the south winds were 58-64 knots, and peaked for about four hours to 74 knots. The whistling of the rigging has was very intense, but as they slipped the waves of the whistles went further and higher mast until it is gone. Out mast 58 feet high, the wave? I guess you … But our boat , we did very well despite our cabin canvas seemed ready to burst at the seams.

That's what I was thinking how my new team members, Emory and Katherine, verified arriving near the summit Marina Channel C & D (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal) to the second part of the trip. We have learned Herrington Harbor, just south of Annapolis MD. I was told that the Delaware Bay, where he is with C & D Canal may be dangerous, with waves 6-9 feet. I reviewed all the maps and books that I could about, but felt he had been beaten at low tide and light winds carefree. What I found was the lack of marinas and along the Delaware Bay. It is a stretch of 50-60 miles. If the waves move with wind … we have a mound Lee … Bad for sailboats.

I wanted everything I could, however, leave the key in equality all compartments. I work all the boat in no particular order, but my final preparation of the stem to stern, inside and outside. For example, the anchor is locked with a lock on the anchor of the Assembly. Channel snugged tight in the wind with an anchor line a latch shackle. I try to have three security features. The dinghy on the cover is attached to the uprights, holding the bridge, and ramps D rings on the boat. Also a tie at the top. Posted Halyards not in the cabin and are related to cable-stayed stuck and tied again. Author head forward, everything is stored in containers secured locked cabinets. All that is lost is safe, everything becomes a place. Refrigerator (Fridge-freezer) lids are hinged so they will not fly in a fall … books, coffee, pots, pans, everyone has his place but is also easily accessible.

The weather forecast said that the seas of Cape Chesapeake May 12 to 15 feet with winds of 25-30 knots with gusts up to 35 from the north … very bad! However, it is anticipated winds switch additional Southwest 10-15 knots tomorrow afternoon and the southwest 5-10 nodes since. With winds in the opposite direction, the sea will fall rapidly … very good! In reality, it means a lot forehead and another to take his place. It's like you want … The weather changed for the better. Not quite a while now, and running to overcome the bad weather between in. All things seem to fall into place.

Emory came this afternoon and Katherine fetch the morning of the airport. Emory Offshore me several time, now that I think … all major displacements of years I can remember. There has been some who say the least, not without problems. On some routes, so the cabin looked like scrambled eggs. Everyone was fine, but things go wrong. As mentioned above, "On the sea does not forgive. "Emory speak of" the domino effect. "Apparently, when things go wrong begins to be a domino effect. In effect domino something goes wrong, the other, than the other. Not good, especially when you are in the sea What parts did you? Did you anticipate this or this? You are limited here. With the domino effect, cold shutdown, there is a deep sea port

All fuel above and below have been strengthened, and water crowned parts such as filters, solderless connectors, wiring, epoxy, and tools are easily accessible. Everything matters now is the time and seems cooperated very well.

Catalina has had many hours in the water, and have its own performance 18 feet around, I knew that the boat handling and IWT. Coupling was not a problem for her, came easily. She has a sense of touch is not have it all. But it's your first time at sea without sight of land. I was nervous but confident at the same time. I have known for some years and has found his level headed and curious. Do not be afraid to express an opinion or opposition. I felt I could have used a member of the crew, but I'll find a good schedule to accommodate us all. With the watch list can not have a feeling, like work, just flow.

It was late, but Emory was excited when he arrived. I had not seen the boat , however, only images, and sent it pleased him. When the Council could not believe the piece below. He looked in every compartment stunned by all the storage. I told him about the window of time what was happening as the single "Island Time." We talked and listened to weather VHF radio. The other front was moving. She sat down in the sea northeast of New England for some time, break the winds and seas. We talked about the arrival of Catherine the next morning, made coffee and discussed how they had around Cape May. We could consider sending Channel and the Atlantic, or if the weather was so beautiful as they were … could predict cutting near the edge and I mean shallow near some of its parts Thus, saving hours and miles. But we shall see when we get there. Cape May Canal is also a great way to go instead of rounding Cape, but in our case, since a sailboat, the mast is 60 feet and not go under the bridge. We went to bed at night. In the morning, we headed International Airport, Baltimore pick Katherine. She was all smiles when she jumped in the car too excited. "I can not believe that I am here, "said … "I'm nervous by Offshore … I know I'll be fine, but I can not believe I'm here. "The excitement was electric in the car. We were all ready to go. When you're on board that goes straight to the VHF and heard the weather. There were also waves of 8-10 feet, but the winds had become in the southwest at 10 knots. Predictions are now 5-7 feet tonight, 3-5 feet in the morning, it was easy to decide for early AM tomorrow. We finished lunch in the city of Chesapeake and control area.

The alarm rang … it was still dark so early in the morning, but the final inspection must be like the weather and follow the final table. Tides and currents are also be treated, in addition to always give plenty of crew time to respond. And coffee helps! We untied her lines and left the dock. It was fun moving in a forest, but the marina was sitting in one. Fully veiled. He knew that power would be cons we Canal C & D There were about a half hour until they got to us. The marina is located just north of the canal side of C & D to leave the harbor Sports is located in the C & D. I have a unit Tracker Marea years ago that tells you the tides and currents of Nova Scotia Virgin Islands. It is a rather large question of the rapid development of portable electronic controls (no more than I've heard). This morning it was current of 1.7 knots against us, but in rapid decline. When we left the marina on schedule today, but what we drove. We have wing keel over 5 foot draft, and I was thinking if we had a bowling … Wow … leading to the return. I slowed the throttle to the port and gradually over. We say the least progress has been slow, so check the sites were no problem. The bridges here, one after the other, they have to wonder. different other. We headed slowly eastward through the C & D There is no wind to speak of water and soil. The time window is very good, the blue sky as we make our exit from the C & D Canal in the Delaware Bay. I do not remember breakfast and I do not remember the feeling of hunger if someone should do something.

As we turned south to Delaware Bay, the serenity is absorbed by the nuclear plant. I've never seen so much as this, but it is expansive. Speaking of scenery … is accelerating. The tide was taking us …. We have been sucked into the Atlantic. Winds are very light … as expected, from 5 to 10 knots. We continue to race, watching the marsh and earth pass. In the distance, beyond the marshes have experienced increases trees slightly. He seemed very open. Freight traffic was made when we adopted in the north of C & D Canal. As we continued south winds was recovered slightly, leaving that opens at full throttle. "Islands" heels slightly to port, and as I cut the engine exhaust noise has been replaced by the murmur of the water. Our progress has been slow sailing made by the tide. He has took only six hours to cross the Delaware Bay. We have decided to close the Cape May and Emory took the reins of the autopilot. It would follow that the latitudes and longitudes I have done to a flipchart, so that in moving the cursor marker. By moving the cursor, change the latitudes and longitudes. We agree the position of the cursor, or alternatively, Emory gives me the coordinates. Everything went well around Cape May, near a small, but the winds and the waves cooperated. We talked about the game in the port of Cape May and fuel up. I do not know if the indicator Tank-mail address is correct, then top to mitigate this problem and at the same time, I say that the consumption of fuel per hour of power 4-cylinder Yanmar 56.

The sea was dented, 3-5 feet as planned. input port of Cape May overlooking the sea, but the docks calmed minds. As we headed to the port, we were greeted by a couple of dolphins playing with happiness. Marina in the port entrances are not marked and local knowledge is a necessity. Call in advance after testing here and there but I have the secret of the sea After refueling, I found our consumption of just under 1.3 gallons hour. The electronic indicator tank had to keep an eye on the fuel pumps on board does not coincide with the indicator. Seem show that he had more fuel than we had. As retired Navy, we all knew that the race began in Montauk abroad. watches Offshore were discussed and implemented largely aloud. I 20h00-23: 00 would change, Emory, 11:00 p.m. to 3:00, and Katherine the 3:00-7:00 pm, but I to cover with Katherine to honor. During the day was at stake … knew that someone would be on deck, we all pulled our weight during the hours of daylight … we all did what we wanted, but we knew that to cover the hours of the day.

Candles Atlantic at 6:30 pm. The southwesterly wind, the sea as mentioned were very unequal in 3-5 feet. The waves were mainly from the south-west, but many were East, which were the remnants of the previous facade. He made the trip uncomfortable at first. When you get used to the proposal of a new wave bulky come to you in a different direction. I called the sea lumpy, because they were not typical of what could be expected. A sea of custom is that the waves of a wind direction parallel to the running, a bit spaced. The higher the sea, the most long wavelengths are the cups. As the largest wind waves crest a little here and there. This is usually abroad. Lumpy wind conditions change, usually abrupt. Will you come in waves of wind direction but the waves still rolling the last before a different direction. As answer, they push each other around the origin of waves wallowing directions confused. That's what I tell you not comfortable in these wind speeds under about 10 knots. Can you imagine a 20 or 30 knots? That's where the skill and danger starts. The waves are incredible because you go to another makes for a larger wave. Prudent sailors waiting in the port of a better climate, but others less fortunate from a remote port is stuck there … finally the problems can begin. In our case, time is better to call the low wave height and wind light. I find it more comfortable navigation through these waters, and do not want Katherine to feel uncomfortable. We are doing 6.6 knots SOG (speed over background) with a current of about 60 degrees (the sea, we go a little). As you know, the node m has been intermittent, and is now completely closed. I am cautious about it, wondering if it is electric, is my other electronic items one by one? My copy Safety is a handheld GPS that give us the latitude and longitude, easily put in a flip chart to see our progress. I disables all non-essential equipment basically just running electronics and lights, all other circuits are off. This is what I normally do anyway. I try to keep in check the domino effect. I one last look, including bilge and accessories through the hull, making sure that everything needs to be. Then the clocks begin … Oh wait, I'm standing. Emory is a light dinner … a little hot soup that warms us and cups and bread. With action waves, light and easy it was good. Then, Emory has some eyes closed and I watched the stars appear. The night was cold and a jacket was in order. I can tell you each passing hour, the sea was more south-west, making the trip more comfortable. It was the first night, running with "Island Time" and found the engine gages had a switch to light, and night, the red light at ground level was adequate to control Quick round. All I can say is that the boat seemed tight, no moans or groans are coming hull or unwanted traffic everywhere. Things are looking good and solid. Emory is on the cover … I know that my watch is gone very quickly. We chatted about my watch and to keep eye. Over the years, my team did not know how to change anything as I contemplate sleep (as captain, I really do not know if I do … maybe remains in deep sleep). They know that looking for any change, particularly electricity. I had one year member of the crew do not hear back and I woke up with the noise of the circuit on and off, one after another. They were marked but he kept the change for all whatsoever. For say the least, I banish the panel and explained again the need to be there in case something has happened … I hate being woken up at an electrical fire. Things Offshore movement incessant happen … they are miles and miles from help. How do you say? "Better safe than sorry."

Katherine comes in the cabin at the rear to let me know what happens in the shows. I wake up groggy thinking it was a while before I just laid back. As I passed by the boat that I can say the erratic movement has largely decreased. To watch the night begins! This was the first clock change Offshore Katherine. She wanted sure not to make mistakes, and assured him she would not. Emory bought us to speed in our situation, of course, conditions and sea changes. Nothing unusual, and at this stage, things were running smoothly. Katherine Emory asked a few questions for the sensation of the night. And within hours Katherine looked comfortable with their abilities and their surroundings. This is a good member of the crew. I told that the stars were so close to you at night but a bright glow on the port blocked. We have made Atlantic City was the only bright enough to do. It's funny … When did you make the navigation much energy needed to make something shiny. You realize that your simplicity, but the luminosity in the upper atmosphere and the sea so far, it's unbelievable. Katherine stayed in front as I lounging on the starboard side of the cockpit in one of those adjustable seats in a room …. Oh, how perfect. I slept with your permission and I was there in the blink of an eye. She acquainted with the plotters and other electronic devices, to ask me questions here and there all discovered each button, button and switch.

Dawn began to bring color to our clock. In the night, everything seems black and white around you … then dawn. It's like watching a color TV for the first time, a great feeling. Emory went on deck. Around 6:30, I noticed a large company super butterfly night flying in. The wind is usually behind us and I did not think until another and another and another came on board. In 20 or 30 minutes flocks of them came to us. I had to close the hatch. It reminded me of the movie "The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock. The butterflies disappear under tacos, spiral lines, across borders is an opening hatch. And with all that has disappeared and it was as if events …. Until …. A chest type bird sparrow black and yellow appeared. Only a very small and in this regard. He landed on the deck, jumping around. In fact … there I was looking for moths. He came out of hiding, moving with force to free its wings there, and they consume. For a hour was magnificent and unforgiving. He brought them out of places all … I do not expect. He knew his job and with a bow before leaving, he came in flight. Discuss the nature and extent of the sea We were all surprised.

Breakfast went down easy in these seas calm. N shore to be seen in research Whales, dolphins or other sea life was fascinating. I do not know what will or will not see him again. We were clicking off the miles and found that 70 miles to go. Montauk, here we are. The day the cockpit very busy with the conversation. I downloaded the control the bilge through hull again and giving an overall look. No problem to report was returned to the cockpit and with that, all have found their ideal location. Sandwiches were eaten for breakfast, CD music on the fund. We talked about our friend of birds and Emory said he realized in a sort of black tie Warbler. To the head fired Emory ravioli dinner with a good salad. The sailing was great, the weather window was increasing and the company was the Toping. The sunset was magnificent. Offshore I saw a lot before, but this caught my eye camera. The sky turned red as it spread along the skyline. The red sun located in the upper Mar. ready to go below. In Instead, stacked like pancakes itself to a stronger red. A halo around the way the stack of different shades of red. When stacking finished, she hung around saying "I will not go yet," and even appeared to muscle up … then as a feather, a slight downward trend was noted. And like a pen that holds a bit. And yet gently like pancakes red slowly, so slowly but was swallowed by the sea His home in the skies above changed shades of red that seemed to be part of the whole sky.

Again, following an inspection and some sorting is done. We are zoning in Montauk and will be there in two hours or less. That would be about 23:00. It will be dark, but we have much space for the Montauk sea all year. This comes in ports unknown the night is not really good, but this is not a problem. I decided to anchor in a small wound on the east side Gardner's Island for the night. She added a few more hours for the trip, but we will give a wonderful sight to come tomorrow. If the journey was long trust Abroad This team would have no problem handling. All very well taken and the time passed quickly. Montauk Lighthouse LED lighting excited us. I thought about the trip just offshore easy to achieve. Being land associated mainly during the last 4 ½ years was not a factor at all … I suppose it's like the bike … and you just want out. The combination of the team, the weather and the sea and the boat was the key to a pleasant journey. No other component on board barked back, but I do not think I was not ready … you never know …. Happy browsing.
