Episode 17 – Charter Prepping and Weather Monitoring

Another chance to charter a Seawind 1260, yes, of course. Toni and I got excited; the Chesapeake Bay is beautiful in October. We started our normal preparations and decided to document the steps that we take in preparing for a local charter and go through the exercise of monitoring the weather. The weather will dictate our destinations and help choose our protected anchorages for the night. A week before our departure, Hurricane Ian made itself known, but no worries, all the weather models have Ian passing way to the west of the Chesapeake Bay, leaving the mid-Atlantic region quiet. All was going as planned right up to the final day. Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts
