Return to Seasons Sailing: 5 Days in Chesapeake City

[@edfrhes]

guys we truly thank your for takeing the time and sharing of y,alls day

[@gdsimmons1]

I've had the sailing bug for a few years and have been learning on the water this year. My wife went for her first sail a week ago and enjoyed it. Your series is perfect for sharing with her because it shows the reality of cruising life, the ups and downs and the projects. I also appreciate the modesty and she will as well. My skipper/instructor has made a call not to go out today due to the winds (Lake Ontario Southern Shore) so I think I'll spend the better part of today watching your whole series. Looking forward to the next video.

I really enjoy your videos. This one from Chesapeake City especially so. We frequent the restaurants and B&Bs there. Great town but it can get really crowed on weekends. Fair winds!

Love the vid and the Chesapeake

[@ryanm2109]

I would suggest twisting the jackline when you run it on deck because if it lays flat it's awkward to grab sometimes. By twisting it, you can easily clip on or grab it when you need to. We do this while racing.

Good vid ya'll.

Love your videos, very informative.What kind of camera do you guys use?Where are you guys now?

[@AdventuresOnBoatscom]

I enjoy your videos and I am curious about your jack line plans. You seem to have figured out where they should run along the sides. Do you then clip in and fall overboard to test how well they hold? Also how long is the tether that you hook onto the jack line? Long enough to be dragging in the water or so short that you don't quite make it to the water and are pinned on the side of the boat out of the water? Then once you are over the side, how do you get back onto the moving boat? I assume you practice doing this like you practice for a MOB. -johnny

I know that intersection ;-) How long ago were you there?

[@BobbieGWhiz]

When you say "storms", do you mean true Beaufort scale storms, or just bad windy rainy weather?

[@Returntoseasons]

A storm on Beaufort scale is 48-55 knots. Also called Force 10. We definitely were in a "storm" in our way up to Chesapeake City. It was a "gale" on our way up (34-40 knts) before the "storm" rolled in. We generally try to avoid sailing in these conditions when we can 😉

[@chasemixon6327]

What kind of solar lights were those you mentioned when you were playing cards and eating cheese? looked pretty nifty!

[@Returntoseasons]

They are Luci brand. We love them!

[@chasemixon6327]

Tell Jeff's Mom, I like sailing too, if she wants to adopt me :)

[@clarisd]

OK, you arrive first and I know how that feels, that you anchored and set lines and chains and then another craft comes in and is too close for you comfort. I would have moved if I had the needed length of chain. I know that it my measure of courtesy and my comfort of self that is far more important than the lack of manners in others.

[@rodshehan3886]

Hey guys. Just looking at your jackline setup concerns me a little. Going by latest offshore racing rules, which come about by deaths at sea, you should really try to run your jack lines down the middle of the boat. if you can get over your lifeline wearing your tether, your jack lines are too far outboard.

[@ParrotSailor]

I agree Rod that jackline setup is worse than none at all. A 6 ft tether on that thing is just perfect to drag and drown you on the side of the boat. Better to go in water. Guys install some padeyes inboard and run your jacklines there.

Thought a bacon smell would ward off evil spirits.

You are filming too much to the left. I like your film but they are not centered.
