<\/a>We have no regrets that we decided to sit in Annapolis for a week longer than expected and wait out the forecasted gale force winds in the Bay safely tied up in a quiet creek and easy walking distance to a nice restaurant.\u00a0 But we are glad to be on the move again and heading south.<\/p>\nAlthough we don\u2019t have a definite agenda or itinerary, we do have a rough plan of what we will do.\u00a0 Hurricane Matthew has caused havoc along the Intracoastal Waterway with high waters, non-functioning draw bridges, large debris and damaged marinas.\u00a0 Our original plan was to do much of the trip South doing short off shore passages as often as we can, weather permitting.<\/p>\n
So right now we are planning to make our way leisurely down the Chesapeake Bay to Hampton, Virginia where we expect to arrive on Monday, 31 October (Halloween).\u00a0 If we had a 3rd crew member interested in doing a 2 night passage we would depart Hampton and have Beaufort, NC as our first stop.\u00a0 Anyone interested?<\/p>\n
If we don\u2019t have a 3rd crew member we will make our way south on the Intracoastal Waterway and arrive in Beaufort about a week later.\u00a0 From there we hope to \u201cjump out\u201d for single overnight passages making good mileage in a shorter amount of time.<\/p>\n
Today we chose to have a short day the first day out, and motored for 3 hours to Herrington Bay South to stay for the night.\u00a0 This part of the trip is the same schedule as last year \u2014 it is like deja vu, but this year we have a bit more confidence and experience which results in less anxiety and stress.<\/p>\n
