'Every day's an adventure when you don't have an engine'. You have big stones. Thank you.

[@ceddavis]

Algorithm must be fed. Thanks, Kevin.

Cool. My Grandpa had a boat on the Bodkin Creek when I was in high school in the 80s and let me use it whenever I wanted. Just refill the gas and keep her clean. I would take my friends to the Inner Harbor and we split the $80 fuel bill :) Good memories and cool to see you in that area.

[@sposwellness8653]

Oh, I could use the dinghy if I could scape it and paint it. Those last few spots of paint befuddled me so! My grandfather's stong hands wiped them away so quickly, then finally I could paint.

[@MarkPingel]

I love watching your videos. You’re such an inspiration!

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Thanks for stopping by, Mark!

Those container ships remind me of the movie “ all is lost”. Be careful out there, those ships litter those containers all over the ocean.

[@sleethmitchell]

i never had engines that were reliable. most of them wound up as moorings. i'm too old and poor to go sailing these days, so i really appreciate watching your vids with a classic gaff rigged boat.

[@scotttaggart71]

I remember the entrance to Deltaville was tricky, went to Nauty Nells, I got a ICW cruising guide by Walter Cronkite in 96 on my way south, in a 67, 27-foot Bristol sloop. Your videos make me wish I'd had the courage to go Offshore. I also remember pretending I had no motor, But I lost patience very quickly. Hats Off to You.

[@buzzart410]

The best sailing REAL channel ! Thanks for showing us how it can be done!

[@sharkmentality9717]

I agree. I'm a Mainah and have been following for years. Often, I'll skip updates since it's already distant history.

[@sposwellness8653]

4:43, oh that IS a ship high in the water. Ty for sharing

[@SoItGoesCAL34]

Thanks!

[@Craneman4100w]

Another nice video

[@rainfinger]

After 43 days from Brazil, barely missing Hurricane Beryl in Grenada, turned our bow to Curacao, presently anchored there, probably the best hurricane hole in the Caribbean.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Hang on to your hats down there, 'tis the season. I'm still trying to get to Nova Scotia ...

[@paulputnam2305]

Thank You for sharing this awesome video with us. Real nice.

[@fish1860]

I made that some track last week, looking for work in Deltaville.

[@ChristianSailing]

great video, definitely my fav,

[@danlarson8379]

I thought that light tower was a deer

[@sailingin-tuitionwithchuck]

I just sailed out of the bay on a mini adventure to the Chesapeake Light a few weeks ago. A lot of fun to see it pop up in your video.

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Just got home after mooring the boat up after this summers adventure (witch was hardly any adventure at all) . However, the first thing I did was watch your previous video, and now this one popped up,,, so two new videos in a day... now that is what I call a welcome home present ! Thanks, Kevin. As always, great stuff. Best regards from Jarle.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Thanks for the loyal following, Jarle, glad you are enjoying the vids.

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Be safe - awesome share

[@rfdinesen4027]

Great video as always Kevin. Thank you.

[@maui6446]

FYI, a good cheap bailing bucket that works really well is to get a 1 gallon plastic milk or water jug, keep the handle and cut away the other side leaving the square bottom on the lower half. It is flexible enough to work well in the corners of Baby Ruth. Easier and more efficient than using a round bucket.

[@UUBrahman]

I thought I saw just what you are describing in Baby Ruth next to the bucket Kevin used to bail the boat.

[@maui6446]

@@UUBrahman I must have missed seeing it!

[@mikegilbert3515]

I really love watching you single-hand those amazine waters. It is a hard ask, I kow, but I would love to see how you sail into an anchorage (in weather) (at night) and drop sails & anchor (all by yourself) .... For example.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Perhaps an infrared camera would do the trick, but even then it would probably be very hard to see what's going on.

[@jayknight850]

Ever anchor in daylight? Seems you make landfall at dark more often than not! We will slow/heave too till light unless we are very familiar with area.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

I ALWAYS end up ending a passage in the dark. It's like some voodoo curse.

[@cliffol4529]

👍

[@paulcollins9197]

Have a safe sale

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

Previously I asked you about how well your boat sails into the wind. I don't remember the exact angles you gave me, but I considered them to be on the "poor" side. If you want to go directly upwind, do you just wait for the wind to change or do you try to tack upwind? Really cool pictures of that "ghost ship". Spooky.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

I try to avoid going to windward, for sure, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Generally a gaff rigged cruising yacht will point 55-60 degrees from the wind in moderate conditions.

[@mikehill2554]

I'd like to go outside some of the way , like you . But how do you sleep . I'd be afraid of getting run down or running into someone else

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Well offshore there is little danger of hitting something, especially with AIS nowadays. Sailing along the coast overnight can be exhausting, indeed.

[@grandmajosephine383]

Looked like a giant deer standing on the horizon.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Ha!

[@st.clairhaynes5804]

About how long does it take on passage from Chesapeake to Bermuda

[@howtosailoceans1423]

Depends on the boat and weather, but 5-6 days is common.

[@robertgranafei2781]

Anywhere is better than Deltaville.

[@howtosailoceans1423]

I like Deltaville, actually, it's quite convenient with grocery and hardware nearby.

[@bob75819]

i like this channel but honestly it would be much more entertaining if it was a few months closer in the timeline

[@richmorpurgo5554]

I think it’s fine how it is!

[@j.h.oreganus1685]

I picture Kevin reading this and thinking: "Hey, if I wanted to work for the man, I'd still be at Arthur Anderson!"

[@ashtonmarkham4848]

Any sailing channel that does long passages has a delay. It takes about a month to cross the Atlantic with no Internet to upload. Then it takes time to edit content. And it takes even longer if you don't have a team to do it for you.
