Have you had any trouble with your in mast furling?

Look maybe 3 to 4 sometimes 5 lol

Nice day for sailing, looks like great accommodation down below, great for sleeping:)

We were out in the same conditions bringing our Catalina 400 through the CD canal down to Galesville. Intense fun!! Thanks for sharing the video

I should have joined you!

Nice sailing there captain

Great sail, thanks for sharing.

you and the boat looks like you can handle the weather Hope to meet up next year bring my boat down from Lake Michigan in the summer. can you recommend some good marinas near the lower end of the bay?

All seasons are sailing season unless there are icebergs.

Thank you for sharing! We've all been there trust me 😊

Well done and courageous to show your mistakes - as a friend tells me “You’re only as good as the last time you docked!” And there’s never anyone watching when it’s perfect but there’s always a crowd when you stuff up.

nice recovery capt!

Chuck, it’s PAUL from down the dock Sea Breeze awesome video. I got a present for you

Looks like perfect conditions!

*_Been there, seen the movie, read the book._* Still get tied up in knots sometimes.

Great learning experience for all of us

Well done that man. As a newby, I have had some shockers entering and leaving, and sometimes my nerves are absolutely shot. It's reassuring to see even the most experienced can have a bad day. I like how you kept your composure despite the pressure and close quarters manoeuvring. Thank you.

I have seen some real accidents with skippers facing the stern on the wheel.

😮

And what was he going to show you how to do that any better..... nice job.... if only it was always that easy....!!!!!

All my white knuckle moments sailing was during docking!!

Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable. It's a great learning moment for you but also for the viewers.

nice sail, thanks for taking me along!

Wanna race?

I would rather be out there messing up than sitting at home.

What a lovely boat.

Wow Amazing Sailboat

we have all been there thanks for sharing real world conditions

STOP Get off the boat. Find a dingy, take a course and practice. Or better yet, find a new hobby. You clearly are NOT cut out for this one.

Nice Job Capt!

I don’t understand switching positions on the helm. That’s just going to confuse you more. I never do that on my boat.

Captain...We've all been there!! Cheers!!

Chuck, a couple of comments; 1) The difference in the breakers is that one is a "low amp" breaker and the other a "high amp" breaker. The purpose of the breakers is to protect the wires from overheating so the windlass motor requiring high amps requires a much thicker gauge of wire to carry the amps and thus a high amp breaker. Both systems are 12V. The reason for running the motor while using the windlass is to provide additional amps from the alternator rather than just the house battery. 2) Paint the toggle of the motor breaker Yellow or Red so it is clearly visible that it has tripped. This allows you to advise the crew to nip down below and reset the "yellow thang" 3).Would also recommend you learn how to release the windlass capstan/wildcat manually and how to raise it manually. There is typically a tool or long bar that fits in the windlass for such an emergency. 4) Finally if all else fails, you can raise the anchor by tying a rolling hitch knot on the chain and leading the line back to one of your winches to raise the chain. It will be slow going and several rinse and repeats of retying the knot and stowing the chain, but it will save your back.

How did you get the rest of the chain up after the trip?Manually?

Yep...Mobjack Bay to the north...(my back yard) welcome to the Chesapeake Bay "washing machine" that northeast wind has a long fetch down the bay! BTW, videos NEVER show how really big waves look! look!

Thanks for not being to proud to demonstrate, that even a good captain can have a bad day. Finally .... no damage 🙂

Rockin and Rollin! Nice and dry in the cockpit of your fine yacht... On my toy boat, everyone and everything would be soaked😂

Like a boss.

Forget those haters. Just mad yer passing em with yer fenders out. Looks like a riot!

A sporty sail Nicely done

Thank you for sharing this. It shows humility and pay no attention to the peanut gallery tossing inappropriately harsh comment. The rest of us benefit greatly from seeing this. Beginner question: would it not make sense to "toss" your bow to starboard a bit more while you're still moving forward just before engaging hard reverse and let prop walk continue the rotation into the slip?

Fantastic!!! Thank you so much!! Just bought first sailboat, after survey, trying to get down a short list of items and you are so right, get it done and deal with it now--was going to stall on some items. Really appreciate the help. Keep it up!!!

Aye lads she is a smart wind today , lay on more canvas , we are Cape Town bound !

Nice video. I just moved my Cal 33 to the Chesapeake from NJ, but not getting out much. Your video reminds me that I need to make up for it the 2nd half of the season! Read your summary... funny how we parallel. I started with a Snark Sunflower 40 years ago. Then no sailing for about 15 years while having kids and going back to school, then got a Buccaneer. (really learned to sail then!) but yeah it scared the family too much! Raced that for several years then slowly moved up in boats, now the Cal. -Jim (sailing out of Rock Hall)

Greetings from Tucson, Arizona. I miss sailing! I grew up 2 blocks West of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel's Virginia Beach landfall, and kept a Catalina 34' at Moore's Point Marina.

I sail in Scotland wind not the problem, finding calm seas is. Plus no rain.

Thanks for sharing this video. It's a matter of practice and age. I'm sixty now and still everything under control. Plenty of practice. My harbor neighbor is 84 now and he's a risk for others and himself. Everything has it's time.

Beautiful.

Turn around outside the marina and enter the marina astern and continue astern all the way into your booked berth, it will make your life soooo easy.
