I really enjoyed this video! I've recently taken some sailing lessons out of Deale so it's nice to see some relatable day trips that are possible from this part of the Chesapeake Bay.

G"day from Australia. I just stumbled on your channel. I own a Columbia 27 ft sailing boat in north queensland. I am refitting my boat at present so it's on the hardstand for another year. I hope you like having an int subscriber, as i have seen some of your other vlogs and l liked them. Well done. Gerard liveaboard on SV GEMSTAR.

Hi, just found out about your entertaining videos. I'm also sailing at the same area on the Chesapeake Bay out of Rhode River with my Hunter 26. I use a 9.9HP outboard as well and use 10% ethanol gas with fuel stabilizer. I never had any issues with that in the last 9 years. Here is also some info about COLREG Rules for Vessel's Priority: 1. N.U.C. -Not under Command 2. Restricted in Ability to Maneuver 3.Constrained by Draught 4.Fishing 5. Sail 6.Motor (including motor sailing) A Barge falls in Category 2 Save sailing!

Marker Five has awesome smoked wings and the best Fish And Chips I’ve had on the bay so far.

I'm liking you're videos! Thought I throw out there that any private (i.e sailboat like yours and mine) have to yield to commercial ships/ barges even when under sail. They are very predictable though, staying in shipping channels and have AIS

You can also pick a spot on you boat say a stanchion line it up with the other boat. If it stays lined up with the stanchion your on a collision course.

You do not have Wright of Way over commercial vessels! Just a heads up from an experienced sailor.
