For us it was 100 hours from Annapolis to Myrtle Beach. Our average cruising speed is 5.5 knots/hour. We probably could have sailed more in northern North Carolina but there isn’t a lot of other places on that stretch of the ICW to sail. From Lake Champlain it was closer to 200, but we ended up motoring most of the way along NJ.
@@AbroadReachTravel do you have a final destination? I plan on making almost the same exact trip this spring on my ‘73 Tartan 30 (which has the same cruising speed)
@@AdventuresofMaxandMar Awesome! The short answer is no, we are basically planning on chasing 70 degrees up and down the east coast for the next year. So far the furthest south has been Ft. Myers FL, we might get down to the keys in March before we start making our way north again. We plan to spend the summer in Maine and then head south again next fall. Hopefully by next fall border restrictions will have eased and we can firm up our long term plans a little more.
Would you say it was about 100 hours on the motor from Lake Champlain to Myrtle Beach?
